Fear is hardwired into us. The dread of rejection, failure, judgment, or harm can freeze the bravest souls. Fear whispers: "What if they say no? What if I lose? What if I’m not enough?"
Psalm 118:6 flips that script. It’s not about ignoring fear but recognizing that something greater stands guard. Faith isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the courage to stand firm because of what you believe. It’s knowing God’s presence is infinitely more powerful than the opinions or actions of mere humans.
Living “faith over fear” means making choices that scare you—but you do them anyway. It could be:
Fear wants to keep you stuck in silence and safety. Faith propels you forward, anchored by the promise that God is on your side.
In real life, “not fearing man” doesn’t guarantee a smooth path. You will face criticism, misunderstanding, setbacks, and even betrayal. But faith is a shield that guards against the chaos.
When you internalize Psalm 118:6, you develop an unshakable peace. You stop overanalyzing every reaction or outcome because your security rests in God’s favor, not human approval.
Fear tells you that your worth depends on the acceptance of others. Faith reminds you whose you are.
Living this verse means seeing yourself as loved, supported, and empowered by the Creator. That identity becomes your rock. You’re no longer tossed by every opinion or threat because you stand in the truth of God’s unwavering presence.
When you choose faith over fear, you become a beacon for those still trapped by fear. Your courage lights a path and invites others to consider that they, too, can live boldly, knowing God is their defender.
Psalm 118:6 isn’t just a promise for you; it’s an invitation to others: “Come see what it looks like to fear less and live more.”
