Good morning, Champ. Here's breakfast.
Avoid the snare of fear
Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is
kept safe."
Fear of man is something that can affect us all at one time or another if we
allow it. The bottom line is we shouldn't! When we know that God has
positioned us and called us to do or be something we just need to stand up
and be what He has called us to be.
Fear of man is a snare and it can catch you, trap you, and stop you being
what you have been designed to be. Hey, Champion, be aware of it and keep
free from it. When God gives a dream or a vision often you can know it is
God because within you you hear that old voice saying stuff like, "What
will people think?". The true answer should simply be, "Who gives a rip!".
If God has given something to you, what does anyone's opinion matter anyway?
Remember what God said to Joshua when he appointed Him to carry on from
Moses and to take the children of Israel into their inheritance? He said,
"Do not look at their faces." What does that mean? It means do not let them
affect you by the way they are looking at you or the comments they may be
making.
Look at the verse now from _The Message_:
Proverbs 29:25 (The Message)
"The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from
that."
The cure for avoiding being disabled by the fear of man or, in other words,
human opinions, is to trust in the Lord; He promises that He will keep you
from every snare.
Don't be caught in a snare today. If God has given you a dream, or asked you
to do something, and you know it, then don't look at the faces of those who
don't understand to determine whether you should do it or not. Look up into
the eyes of your Heavenly Father and, as it has once been termed, 'feel the
fear and do it anyway'!
When an animal is caught in a snare it stops running free and cannot enjoy
the freedom it was designed to know. It is the same with us. If we let
people's opinions stop us from doing what God says we can do then we are
acting like rabbits who have one leg caught, prevented from going where we
want to go. Don't get caught, but run free again today! Fly like an eagle in
the opinions and thoughts of your God who is for you.
Bless you,
Andy
