Bible Verse of The Day – 12-5-17

Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV) 25 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

Are we afraid of man? Do we walk around, fearful of what people may try to do to us if we don’t do what they say, or act the way they want us to act? If so, we may live our lives doing everything we can to please them, even if it is something we know we shouldn’t be doing.

Many people live like this and don’t even realize it. More than we would expect, including people we would never expect it from.

What does fear of man do? It gives people control over us. It puts them in charge.

When we are afraid of man, we lose our identity. We walk in intimidation and fear daily, and we are at their beck and call.

There will be times when we know we should speak up, stand up or walk out, etc., but we feel paralyzed and unable to do so.

We’ve allowed this fear of man to dominate us and control us. If we give man the upper hand, he will take it.

Let God deliver us and help us get free from the fear of man today.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You today and ask for forgiveness for my fear of man. I ask You to help me and deliver me from this fear. I am willing to take the steps You have for me and I no longer want to live this way. But instead, I put every bit of my trust in You.

I rebuke the spirit of fear and his attack against me, in Jesus’ name. I am no longer in bondage to him, but claim my freedom to speak up, to stand up, to walk where I need to walk and to make the right decisions.

Show me how to stand firm Lord, as I want to live by Your strength every day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
