HEAR DON'T FEAR

If we live by the Spirit and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, we are going to be ridiculed by those who don't. If we listen to what the Lord is telling us, we will not be bothered or deterred by the attitude of others toward our faithful walk with the Lord. He will honor our hearts and will take care of those who feel free to mock us.

Heavenly Father, so many times we let what others say keep us from speaking and living your Word. We ask you to forgive us for that and to give us the boldness and peace to live every moment in what we know to be right and just in your eyes. In Jesus' name.

Read Isaiah 51:7

"Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults." (NIV)

"Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings." (KJV)
