Part of verse seven: " . . . fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings."
Verse twelve: "I am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you. Behold, who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of man, who shall die, and of the son of man, who shall be made like unto grass?"
"Who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of man . . ."
These words reminded me of my fear of my family. My fear of not being accepted if I truly show what I believe. My fear of them really knowing the real me and rejecting it. Who am I to be afraid? "Fear not I am with thee, O be not a afraid. For I am thy God and shall still give thee aid." All of the strength of the universe is in the God that I believe in and I still couldn't find my courage.
Verse sixteen: "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plan the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: Behold, thou art my people."
For every person who ever feels afraid of man, they need only read this verse with an open mind and they will realize that God supports those who serve Him. The key is that you must serve Him with all of your heart. If you don't give your all to God, he may not assist you. Show Him that you are ready to be filled with His courage and He will give you that strength.
