You are in the moment. You and your friends have gone out to karaoke and on comes a popular  jam that you’ve been pretending to know so you don’t look out of the loop. Your friends start cheering you up to take the mic. You are petrified. Do I do it? Do I not? This could be the biggest mistake of your life. But the urging of your friends is too much. You cross your fingers, and give it all you got. We face scenarios like this all the time. But many times, the stakes are way higher. The difficult situations we find ourselves in push us toward impulsive decisions that many times lead to negative outcomes. Why do we cave under the pressure? Simple. Because of the fear of Man. Fear of man is a mindset that is plainly seen when you have a poor understanding of who you are in Jesus Christ, combined with a poor understanding of how much other people’s opinions really matter. In those difficult situations we forget about the plans God has for our lives and blessing that comes through our obedience. And more often then not we make the wrong choice. Because the opinions of others are bigger, then the opinion of God in our lives. Listen now, as we explore part 2 of the fear of man, and how to overcome this giant in our lives.
