Trust Keeps You Safe

Trust Keeps You Safe

Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.

—Proverbs 29:25 (NLT)

Being around other people can be scary. What if you say the wrong thing? What if you wear the wrong clothes? What if you don’t fit in with the in-crowd? What if you trip and fall—right in the middle of the lunchroom?

Some days are like walking through a minefield. One false step and—BOOM! So you spend your whole day trying to do and say just the right things, hoping to please everyone. You even do and say things you know are wrong, just to fit in. By the end of the day, you’re exhausted. And the only thing you’ve earned is the privilege of getting up and doing it all again tomorrow.

Being afraid of what people think is dangerous. And living to please others can get you into big trouble. Live to please Me instead. I will help you make good choices. And I will help you get through the minefield of your day.

Trust Me, and I will keep you safe.
