Ever been afraid of man? Afraid of a situation? I am sure we all have. I certainly have. I remember a time when my fear of man and what man could do filled my stomach with knots and tied me all up inside. Proverbs 29:25 "Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe." Isn't that just the coolest!!!? Think of how you as a human fail others. Others will and do fail you too. We have times when we know that others have a huge impact on our life, our earthly life and because of their impact we can become fearful of them, looking to them for solutions thus taking our trust off of Christ and onto man. Pretty soon we have totally forgotten about God and are only looking to man to come through. Even though man will always fail but God will not. I know I have been guilty of this. Isn't that a beautiful promise though - whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Safe in God's way, not mine - safe by God's direction, not mine - safe in my heart and in my mind, which to me are the places that I need safety, the places I want his protection.
By the way, be assured that trusting in the Lord and being safe is a promise direct from him - spoken direct to you. That is how much he loves you.
Take a moment and worship the Lord as you listen to this song. Think about Jesus as the song plays, not just a song. Raise your hands if you are so lead. 1 Timothy 2:8 says "I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer..." and Psalm 134:2 "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord." He is worthy of all our praise!
