Paul was invited to give “any word of exhortation” to a Jewish congregation in Pisidian Antioch, Turkey.

(Amplified Bible) Acts 13:16 “So Paul arose, and motioning with his hand said, Men of Israel and you who reverence and fear God, listen!”

  To whom are you listening?  God’s word, the Holy Bible is God speaking to you and me.  Are we “listening”?

  Whom do you fear with reverent awe?  God alone deserves this kind of worship.

  When circumstances or people cause us to fear, how are we to react to fear?

  Hang on to God and His words as you face people who are unkind, people who are vicious in their words and actions.

(Amplified Bible) Psalm 27:1 “THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation – whom shall I fear or dread?  The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?”
