Proverbs 29:25\u00a0(NKJV) 25 The fear of man brings a snare,\u00a0But\u00a0whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fear of man can affect our lives greatly. It can prevent us from doing\u00a0things\u00a0we\u00a0want\u00a0<\/i>to do. It can cause us to do things we\u00a0shouldn’t\u00a0<\/i>do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fear of man can keep us from growing as a follower of Christ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fear of man can alter our lives drastically. And if we don’t defeat it once and for all, it can even alter our destiny.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we were 100% honest, we could all say that\u00a0the\u00a0fear of man has\u00a0affected us\u00a0in one way or another in our lives. I know it has in my own life, especially up until the last few years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, as I went through different things, and I saw how my decisions were affected by the fear of what people might think, it caused me to want deliverance from this thing. It showed me that even though I loved God with all my heart, I was still not following His leading 100% of the time because of this fear that would pop up from time to time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But once God showed me what this was, I decided I’d had enough of it. I now no longer worry about what others think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I care about my reputation as a believer, because I am God’s ambassador. And I want my life to reflect Him in every way possible.<\/p>\n

But I don’t worry about what people think of me any longer. Their opinions don’t bother me. Not at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of fearing man, I now fear God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) 10 \u201cThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not a fear that causes me to cower in a corner, afraid of what He might do to me. It is a reverent fear. And it stems from loving Him and gaining understanding of who He is and what He wants for my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So,\u00a0if you fear what people think of you, stop. Stop worrying about their opinions, or what they might say about you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, fear God. Get understanding as to who He really is and stand in awe of Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
