Jud
Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”

“When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.

The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.
when we witness we are putting our trust in the Holy Spirit to convict
we need to tell what we know
and not be afraid
