Fear and Unjust
25
Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the Lord means safety.
26
Many seek the ruler’s favor,
but justice comes from the Lord.
27
The righteous despise the unjust;
the wicked despise the godly.
The first proverb shows that the opposite of faith isn’t doubt, but fear.
Reflecting on today’s politics, Verse 26 is a reminder that despite the chaos, God is still in control, and we should trust Him to bring justice in His own time.
As a Christian, you may sometimes wonder why someone dislikes you, even when you’ve treated them with kindness and integrity. Verse 27 explains that dishonesty and righteousness are naturally opposed, and this tension can lead to conflict.
Think about this: Do you agree with the statement that a person with no faith fears that God is not really in control? Without faith, it’s easy to feel uncertain or fearful about the future, whereas faith allows us to trust in God's sovereignty, even when things seem unclear.
