Philippians 1:28
Fear often rises when opposition appears. Criticism, resistance, misunderstanding—all can shake confidence. Paul reminds believers that fearlessness is not arrogance; it is assurance in salvation.
In real life, standing firm invites resistance. Fear whispers, “Back down.” Faith replies, “Stand steady.”
Opposition does not mean failure. Often, it confirms direction. God uses resistance to refine courage.
Reflection:
What fear is trying to silence your faith today?
Prayer:
Lord, replace fear with confidence in You. Help me stand firm with courage and trust. Amen.
