It’s easy to stand for truth when everyone that you surround yourself with believes exactly the same way.
It’s more difficult to be bold when you are exposing and speaking out against something that your circle of people may not agree with.
Are you really speaking truth when you fear speaking against what may go against popular opinion within your circle?
Right is right and wrong is wrong. I don’t care what the echo chamber has to say about a topic. I care about truth.
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe” Proverbs 29:25
Social media feeds our fear of man. We look to our favorite accounts for truth rather than trusting our own discernment from the Holy Spirit.
Noah didn’t receive public praise or support when he chose follow the Lord and build the ark.
Fear the Lord>Man
Is it a sin to stay silent? We need to examine ourselves and seek the Holy Spirit and consider if we are silent because of “fear of man”.
If we don’t expose evil, than who will? We must pray for wisdom and courage to stand up for what’s right, and pray for help to remain silent when we should just be silent. “He who restrains his words has knowledge, And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.”
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7
Proverbs 1:7
When hard truths get exposed within your circle, will you stand objectively for truth or succumb to fear of man?
If we can’t stand for truth when it hits close to home, we must reflect and ask ourselves what we really value most? Likes, follows, and praise based on popular hot topics within our circle or exposing truth?
Stand for Truth, even if you’re the last one standing.
