*A thought*:
"The measure of a man", said a great philosopher, "is what he does with power". Gideon's son, Abimelech, misused it, and ended his life in failure and defeat. How do you use the power God has given you? Carefully or carelessly?
*Week #14 Memory Verse*:
2 Timothy 1:7
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self- discipline"
