We Fear People Because?

Fear
1- We fear people because they can expose and humiliate us.
2- We fear people because they can reject, ridicule, or despise us.
3- We fear people because they can attack, oppress, or threaten us.
These three reasons have one thing in common: they see people as “bigger” (that is, more powerful and significant) than God, and, out of fear, we give people the power and right to tell us what to feel, think, and do.
Fears are loud, demanding, and controlling. Even when you know they are irrational, they can still prevent you. The most radical treatment for the fear of man is the “fear of the Lord.”
God must be more significant to you than people are!
