Scriptures

2 Timothy 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Main Points
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Not those who merely seek his blessings.
Those who seek him find their reward; he is the reward.
Fear is a spirit.
It is a spirit that God did not give to us.
Self-discipline, self-control, and love are our protection from fear.
