“The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that.”
Proverbs 29:25 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
Do you feel “disabled” by what you think others’ think of you or your views? Â Well, if you abide in God’s word, and if His word abides within you, you will have no fear to speak your mind — nay, to speak the truth — without fear. Â Jesus did not mince words, and many a time used the choicest of words to address some in his day. Â “Brood of vipers” is what he called one set of people; “white-washed sepulchres” is what he called another. Â There is a time for silence, and then there is a time for speaking out. Â Do not worry about what others might think of you. Â Rest assured in the peace, calm, and confidence that comes in knowing that you are a child of the Almighty, and that it is God’s opinion of you that really matters.
