INSPIRATION
Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. (NIV).
Today is the day that I pledge to never allow fear to stand in my way ever again! For too long fear has been the dictator of what Gods people would or wouldn’t be able to accomplish; dictating the roads, areas, and levels they could or couldn’t venture and who they would or wouldn’t be allowed to associate with. Believe it or not fear has its own social agenda for the people of God. Fear has been created to keep believers from knowing the joys of being free to be who God has called them to be. Fear dictates how (or how much) we love, when, where, and to whom we can display our intimate side. Fear controls the ability to trust!
Ok let’s not become side bared because of what we feel intimacy means! Intimacy is not just something that occurs between a husband and a wife. Intimacy also refers to the bond that is made between a mother, father, and their children. Intimacy is what happens when friendships are being built and, over time it is what creates that unbreakable soul-tie. Now I would be misleading if I didn’t say “yes intimacy is what happens between a husband and a wife” (but I will stand firm when I say that it is not just what happens before intimate moments).
Fear also causes otherwise good people to do some not so good things, instigating to an already sensitive hearted person to believe the devil when he tells them that God has left their side, during a time when they need him the most. Fear pressures a person who has never been loved or validated by their parents into look for those missing affections in all the wrong places. Fear uses the unknown to keep you from crossing over your-own-symbolic Jordan River, and into the promises that God has waiting for you.
Fear is a powerful force so let us not take it for granted because it is real and God knows that it has many faces. Knowing when fear is present within our loved ones or even when it is present within ourselves is tricky because of the many faces that fear has but, with this knowledge fear will never be allowed to control your life ever again. Proverbs 29:25 is clear in the elucidation that fear of man is a snare. Have you ever witnessed a woman or a man who is in an abusive relationship? Making a healthy decision to-protect-self will be almost impossible for this person because of the grip that fear imposes. Fear is not just distributed through physical actions, but through methods of mental and verbal abuse as well. If a person can cause you to fear them, than they can control you and your every move, this is a very dangerous position to be in. Proverbs 29:25 But whoever trust in the Lord is kept safe. This is a promise from God…..but how do you obtain this promise when fear is present? I would be lying if I told you that putting fear aside is simple. The truth is, overcoming fear will take time and it will also take a lot of effort. What’s more fear comes when you try to think ahead as a means of for-seeing into the future: fear says that if you can’t see the whole picture then it’s not God leading you but, instead it’s your imagination. After all if you can’t see your deliverance how can you trust that you will be saved from your situation right? Trying to for-see will be a hindrance when it comes to the things of God, because scriptures tell us that we know in part 1Corinthians 13:9 (For we know in part and we prophecy in part), but, many believers refuse to move into the un-familiar for fear that God won’t be there in the end: even though God has promised to be the lamp unto their feet and the light unto their path; never leaving, discarding or neglecting them at any time.
Understand that Fear never tell the Truth unless you give it control over your life.
