  Fear of man will prove to be a snare  
 
 

Proverbs 29:25
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

Many people of good heart but not enough courage live in bondage to the fear of man. They worry far too much about what people think, instead of first being concerned about what God and wisdom say, and what integrity would lead them to do. This is a snare that traps many people.

How we need to treat people? 1 Peter 2:17 says, “Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor”. Which can mean,

  • Respect – everyone
  • Respect and love – the family of believers
  • Respect, love and honor – emperor, leaders, parents, husband..
  • Respect, love, honor and fear - God

Application

From childhood days, remember if you have feared anyone – teachers, uncles, aunts, police, rowdies… What changed your perspective or what can help you to change from not fearing them? Pray through that.
