Verse of the Day

As we begin this next season of our publishing journey and are short on content, we will be sharing Verse of the Day devotions until we have enough article submissions to fill our editorial calendar. We hope you enjoy them! ~ Janel the CWP Editor-in-Chief


“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

— 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV

Fear has a way of making itself sound like wisdom.

It says:

  • Stay quiet.
  • Don't ask questions.
  • Don't upset anyone.
  • Don't make a mistake.

But courage doesn't mean you never feel afraid. Sometimes courage is recognizing that fear doesn't get to make every decision for you. The one you know in your heart is right, but your mouth trembles at the thought of saying it aloud. 

When we get brave enough to challenge fear, God's Spirit makes room for more important things... Power. Love. A sound mind. Your voice.

You don't have to become fearless. You just need to believe that bigger plans are at play. And then take your next steps, one a time.
