Proverbs 29:25 (NIV)

Proverbs 29:25 (NIV). Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe....... Thoughts on This Verse... Jesus told us not to fear other human opponents (Lk. 12:4-5). When we try to please others, when we fear what others may say or do to us, we place ourselves in a position of great vulnerability. Our lives no longer remain our own. We become captive to what others think, want, or threaten. We are to trust only the LORD and reverence him. In God is our safety, both now, and forevermore.
