Do Not Fear Man

Scripture Isaiah 51:7: “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
You people in whose heart is My law:
Do not fear the reproach of men,
Nor be afraid of their insults.

Observation: We are being told if we know the word of God there is no reason to fear others or anything. God knows where we are and what is happening around us. Even what we think might be the worst thing that can happen, death, is really just the beginning of life.

Application: Whatever I’m going through I need to search the scriptures to find God’s answer to my situation, not man. I’m going through the worst time that I know and there is so much information around me I fall into confusion and depression. I need to stay close to God and follow the path that God is making for me.

Prayer My Lord forgive me for being distracted by all that is happening around me. Please fill me with the Holy Spirit and open my eyes so that I may see how you might want to use your servant.
