Put Your Trust In The LordSample

Put Your Trust In The Lord.

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

The fear of man bringeth a snare. In whom do you place your trust? Do you place your trust in people? Or do you place your trust in God?

You choose. Trust is a choice. You can choose to place your hope in man or you can place your Hope in Christ.

The Amplified Version expounds upon Proverbs‬ ‭29:25‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ in the following manner, “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.” Similarly, he New Living Translation lays out Proverbs‬ ‭29:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬ in the following way, “Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.” May you find safely in Christ. May you lean on and place your trust in God.

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “Snare” is, ‘mowqesh’ (H4170) which means, “Bait or lure”. Don’t let man bait or lure you to the temporal things of this world. Lean on Christ. Put your confidence in the Lord. Trust in the Lord and give your heart to Christ.
