Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)
25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but
whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
Jesus told us not to fear other human opponents (Lk. 12:4-5).
When we try to please others, when we fear what others may say or do to us, we
place ourselves in a position of great vulnerability. Our lives no longer
remain our own. We become captive to what others think, want, or threaten. We
are only to trust the LORD and reverence him. In God is our safety, both now,
and forevermore.
Thought for today:
Is my faith strong enough for me to trust God over what I see and feel?
