Fear is not the way to wisdom. Fear is meant to be overcome - why else would the Bible tell us over and over again to NOT be afraid? God is love and his love casts out all fear:
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
But we’ll all have to deal with fear - it’s all around us and one of the weapons the devil uses against us. Especially that fear of what over might think - this plays on our egos and insecurities at the same time. God gave us so much scripture about it so we wouldn’t be surprised or caught off guard. The word of God is our best weapon against it!
