Truth or Trend?

In a world that constantly shouts, “Live your truth” and “Follow your heart,” Proverbs gives us a better starting point: Fear the Lord. That’s not about terror — it’s about honor, reverence, and trusting God more than we trust ourselves. When you fear the Lord, you don’t cave to culture. You don’t chase every new idea. You stay rooted, even when everything around you feels shaky.

 

The Bible warns us that there’s a path that seems right but ends in death (Proverbs 14:12). That means our feelings aren’t always a good guide. What feels good isn’t always good. And what feels right isn’t always right. When we remove the fear of God, we remove the foundation of truth — and when truth goes, confusion takes over. But when God is your foundation, clarity comes. Peace comes. Life begins.

 

So don’t let the world disciple you. Don’t trade truth for trends or applause. The fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain. Let’s choose God’s wisdom over the world’s noise — because when truth is restored, life is restored.
