A verse that keeps popping into my mind is Matthew 10:28. In the ESV, it reads:
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
I've often struggled with having more fear of those around me rather than fear of the True, Living God. I pray that He forgives me of this misplaced fear, and that my fear of him grows as my fear of man diminishes.
Henry,
ReplyDeleteI won't be at church this coming Sunday morning. I hope to be there in the evening.
