Looks can't kill

“… fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks…” Lamentations 3:9

We all know the old adage, “If looks could kill”… but luckily they can’t, it is just an aphorism. So, no matter who it is trying to intimidate you; if you are doing what God is telling you to do, if you are stepping out with faith, strength, and courage in Him; then, that person, (or those people), can be ignored - their smirks and expressions can be kicked to the wayside.  I know looks can be intimidating at times, but stand firm and think on the fact that God is way more intimidating than a look, and that thought, in itself, should give you enough strength to continue moving forward.

So, keep doing what you feel God wants you to do, and don’t dare back down to man! Remember, man is only man, but God IS God, and His protection over the call of your life will prevail over anything, and anyone, that tries to get in your way.

Be NOT afraid.

“Be not afraid of the king of Babylon… says the Lord, for [he is a mere man…] I [the Lord] am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.” Jeremiah 42:11AMP

Are you intimidated by certain people, or situations, in your life? Unfortunately, I find myself going through periods of feeling intimidated, feeling less than, and cowering down to certain people and/or situations – it is no fun. So, if you happen to be like me, finding yourself going through similar periods, then it is the verses like today’s that we really need to read, re-read, memorize, and study.  So, pay attention to this and other related verses, and the next time you feel yourself cowering to anyone or anything, other than God, you will have a mind, and mouth, full of verses, (arsenal), to counter-attack those defeating thoughts, helping you to stand stouter and stronger then you’ve ever been able to stand before.

Yes, remember, use God’s words to withstand all that life brings you - they are our weapons toward the fleshly warfare that stands before us.
