Fear and trust

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

Observation: When I fear, it is often due to seeking the approval of men rather than relying on the sovereignty of God.  This is a trap that should be avoided.

Application: in the words of Yoda, "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering".  Rather than fall prey to this paradigm, I will instead trust in the Lord for all things.  He alone can set me free.

Prayer: Father, may my heart seek only Your approval and no other.  May my trust be in You alone.  Amen.
