1 Samuel 15:24 "Then Saul said to Samuel, 'I have sinned; I have indeed transgressed the command of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice."
Context: Saul had disobeyed the LORD by not completely destroying the Amalekites. Instead, he decided to take animals from the Amalekites even though the LORD instructed him not to do that.
How do I know if I am fearing men more than God?
Here are 2 ways to test yourself:
1) If the words of men affect you more than the words of God, then you are fearing men.
2) If the words of the men cause you to sin against God, then you are fearing men.
Fearing men may just lead you into sinning against God. God cares more about your obedience than your rep amongst people. So if you're faced with a choice, always choose the approval of the Lord and rather than the approval of man. In the end, that's all that matters.
