“In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.” — Proverbs 14:26–27 (ESV)
“We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.” — Romans 6:6 (ESV)
________________________________________
Do you ever feel like life is full of pressure—from grades, sports, friendships, or even your own expectations? It can feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world. But Proverbs 14 tells us that when we live in the fear of the Lord—a deep respect and trust in God—we find confidence and even a refuge, a safe place. And Romans 6 reminds us that because of Jesus, we’re not stuck in our old mistakes or habits. The cross sets us free so we can live with confidence instead of fear.
It’s like this: sin and fear try to chain us down, whispering lies that we’re not enough or that we can’t change. But the moment we trust God and live in awe of Him, we discover the freedom and life He offers. Following Jesus doesn’t make life perfect, but it does give us the strength to face it without fear.

THINK ABOUT IT
1. Confidence in God: What does it mean to find confidence in the “fear of the Lord” (Proverbs 14:26)? How is this different from being afraid of God?
2. Freedom from the Past: Romans 6:6 says we’re no longer slaves to sin. What old habits, fears, or mistakes do you need to leave behind so you can live free in Christ?
3. Living Boldly: How can knowing you have a “refuge” in God change the way you handle stress, peer pressure, or self-doubt this week?

BOTTOM LINE
Trusting God brings confidence and freedom that fear and sin can never give.
