"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." ~ Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of humans, but fear God instead. Humans may harm your physical body, but they cannot harm your soul. Instead, fear God who has the power to destroy both your body and soul in hell. Surely you have aspirations and things you wish to achieve in life. Do not allow anyone to hinder your progress by putting you down, bullying you, or taking advantage of you. God will protect you, so do not fear what others can do to you. Stand up for what is right, just and honest. Always stand up for those who are weaker, just as God wants you to protect them, knowing that God will also protect you. The Lord will keep you safe from all harm. The beginning of wisdom is having a reverence for God, and you can gain understanding from the knowledge of holy people. Therefore, always surround yourself with righteous individuals. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Want to be wise? Surround yourself with wise friends and stay away from foolish ones. Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. What does it mean to be wise? According to the Bible, the one who wins souls is wise. Encouraging and inspiring others to do good is wisdom. God does not desire anyone to be lost, but wishes for all to repent and be saved. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Therefore, be quick to forgive and forget what others have done to you, just as your Heavenly Father has forgiven you. The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Does God want you to protect yourself from others? Here is what Jesus, the Son of God, said. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. For more information visit JehovahSaint.com
