And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
Acts 18:9-10

“For I am with you.” Most believers are timid to speak up about our faith in Christ, and so we tend to remain silent. Here is some good news for believers regarding telling others about the “Good News.” The Lord is with us! The Comforter (the Holy Spirit) is indeed IN us for our comfort. That is why Jesus referred to Him as the Comforter in John 14:16, 26; 15:26, & 16:27 (KJV). But He is not merely the Comforter for us as we deal with life’s difficulties. He is in us to empower us to declare the gospel.

Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Do you struggle with timidity? Trust in the Lord to empower you to overcome timidity and to speak boldly. He is with us for that expressed purpose.
