Religion
for
Living
By J. L. WALTER MOOSE
“God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and
>f love, and of a sound mind.” II
Timothy 1:7.
Fear 4s real; it is very much
with man. Wherever he turns in
this life he finds many things to
make him afraid. Some people
are afraid that they will not be
able to face life. They are afraid
07 what others may say, of financ
ial insecurity, of what they can
not see and understand.
But Paul b 11s us that fear is
not of God. It belongs to the realm
■1 life that lies under the con
quest of man’s religious faith.
The gifts of God—power, love.
..nd self-control—make it possible
foi us to overcome cur fears.
Eternal God. in whose grace
■nd love we find wholeness of
ilo. banish from our hearts that
fear which destroys life's har
mony and well-being: through
Je.-,us Christ our Lord. Amen.
