SCARED AND SNARED
by an old Disciple of Jesus Christ
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”~ Prov. 29:25
We like to blame others for our intimidation’s, but whose fault is it when the object is inanimate? From my long experience and personal observation I’ve come to believe the problem lies within the timid soul, and not people or things. It seems to be self-imposed.
It is so sad to see people live their lives cowering before pseudo-Goliaths. Those who see others as giants and themselves as grasshoppers need a fresh touch from the Lord that they might see clearly. The man who saw, “…men as trees walking" will vouch for this.
Christians easily intimidated have lost all semblance of manliness or womanhood. What is presented instead is a shell of a person with a shriveled-up soul, paralyzed with fear. It is a pitiful way to exist, to say the least. Especially when you think of the fact that we have manufactured most of our fears.
The cure for being terrorized by the things of life, is to keep your eyes on God. Everything and everybody dwarfs in comparison to Him. When looking only to God, you’ll cease to see others as giants, and yourself a grasshopper. Goliaths then become midgets. Your Goliath will fall down flat when you say, “I come to thee in the name of the Lord…” Ask David!
Should clay fear clay?
