Foolish Fear

"The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD" (Proverbs 29:25,26).

The fear of man will bring a snare,
Warp discernment, prompt despair.
The fear of God will bring relief,
Guide our steps, promote belief.

Be done with fearing mortal man!
Fear the Lord! Before Him stand!
While many seek the ruler's favor,
God tries and judges our behavior.
