Foolish Fear

Read:  Psalm 84 / Proverbs 29 / Jeremiah 28 / 2 Cor. 2 

 

Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee… passing through the valley… They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Jeremiah 28:16,17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year.

2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but… in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

 

As we appear before the Lord,

His presence purges foolish fear,

But fools will seek for man’s reward,

As if God doesn’t see or hear. 

 

Yet we are sure that God is there

And that our ways are in His sight. 

The fear of man will bring a snare;

The fear of God renews our might.
