Fear of Man

4/19/2013

0 Comments

 
The events of the past week have led me to think of the simple wisdom of Proverbs 29:25 which teaches us that, "fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety." (NLT) Admittedly that is more than a little hard to swallow when such "people" intentionally seek to kill 8 year old children in cold blood - but the message, in the end, is overwhelmingly powerful....

If we allow those who seek to instil terror in our hearts do so, we fall into the "dangerous trap" of which Proverbs speaks. Our eyes move from Christ to man and our enemy has won - our cowardly, lying, child-killing, gutless enemy who will NEVER come into the light and fight us - NEVER stand toe to toe with righteousness - and who will use every tool of this natural world to, like I said, persuade us take our eyes off the Christ and place them on man. 

I want to fight him so badly. I want him to come into the light and I want to watch Jesus destroy him. That day is coming, my friends, until then we must cling to the truths that sometimes test our faithfulness. I pray that the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ nourishes you in this time of trial. May our Lord bless you by the power of The Holy Spirit - and may you NEVERfear man but LOVE GOD.
