“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.” Proverbs 29:25 NLT
Fearing people is worrying about what peopel think. If we realise they usually don’t think about us, it helps. If they do and it is critical, that can be also good. Criticism help us determine if we need to improve or helps us move away from our critics. Rejection is probably the fear we have in worrying about people. Wanting to be liked is also dangerous. At some point we have to stop and think, ‘why do I care for others to like me?’
Jesus did not give Himself to certain people because He knew their hearts. The very ones who called out ‘hosanna’ the next day called out ‘crucify Him’. People are emotional and fickle. Fickle people are not worthy of our friendship.
There is only One who is steadfast and immovrable in love for us. That One is God. He does not change according to teh season or mood . We can trust Him. Amen!
