Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

Should you be afraid of a person who wants to hurt you with a big knife or something worse? Of course yes!

But human fear is very different to the fear we should have for God. Humans may be able to do all manner of bad things to us, but they can never take away our souls.

God wants to keep you and your soul safe and in peace with Him in heaven; that means we have a choice to make.

We either fear and trust in humans and get as far as the end of our lives, or we fear and trust in God who can keep us for eternity after our physical bodies conk out!
