Verse #3:
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe."
Proverbs 29:25

Study Questions:
When I was younger, I was extremely shy! So shy that I would literally hide behind my older brother. (Thanks for being there for me, Dan!) As I've grown in age and in wisdom, I hope, I've realized that other people are not something to be afraid of. I don't have to hide from them. I can boldly express myself and give my opinion on matters. They won't "bite". The ONE I need to please is God and not man.
I still do, to a certain extent, worry about what others think of me. I think my knowledge of Christ and His Word has helped me overcome this mind-set. I've learned that if I seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, everything else will come in time. I'm a lot more laid back over-all.

2. If you're prone to worry about people's opinions of you, what might help you rest in God's opinion? Or if you have no fear of what people think, what helped you achieve that mind-set?
