Intimidation
Intimidation is the act of making someone else timid or fearful by real or implied threats. Bullies use intimidation to force their victims to do what they want them to do. The word timid is in the middle of intimidation and aptly describes the state of nervousness caused by a particular person. However, intimidation is not always the result of a person’s actions. Situations also have the power to create intimidation. The prospect of public speaking can intimidate some as well as meeting a celebrity or popular public figure. When we face an unfamiliar situation, we often feel intimidated. And since the Bible is always relevant to our lives, it also addresses the topic of intimidation.
