31 Days Through the Book of Proverbs

FEARING MAN (day 29)

10/29/2015

0 Comments

 
Fearing man is the opposite of fearing God. It is worry about pleasing men and obtaining their agreement, friendship, and favor, rather than God’s. You are afraid of their displeasure or rejection, so you do what you can to keep their approval and stay friends. Instead of measuring your life by Scripture, you are concerned about popular opinion.

Remember that God or truth will never be popular. In fact, anything the world accepts and does not despise is an abomination in God’s sight (Luke 6:26; 16:15). Think about Noah! Would you rather be popular or dry? Think about Daniel! Would you be willing to eat bean soup and water while your peers are gorging on the king’s meat and wine?


Fearing man diminishes our fear of God. Fear God by trusting Him and allow Him to deal with man.

Proverbs 29:25 (ESV) The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
