"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe…"

(Proverbs 29:25, NIV)

Fear is one of the enemy's favorite tools to keep us from moving forward. “The ‘fear of man’ describes any situation in which one is anxious about not offending another person. The Scripture tells us that fear is a spirit. It affects your emotions. Many people of good heart but not enough courage live in bondage to the fear of men. They worry far too much about what people think, instead of first being concerned about what God and His wisdom say, and what integrity would lead them to do. This is a snare that traps many people. But when you choose to put your trust in the Lord, no matter how you are feeling, you are combating fear. Today, don't allow fear to trap you and hold you back. Instead, take a step of faith knowing that God is on your side.
