Being a strong, vocal leader invites criticism as well as followers, but God's praise and rewarding smile is worth much more than the sting of man's taunts. You always have Divine support for right even if your enemies malign you, make up rumors, and falsely condemn you.
Sometimes, even people who should be standing with you are too fearful:
Acts 5:12-14 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.
But look, God worked anyways.
When you fight for the truth, you never fight alone. We only have like, you know, the Almighty Creator backing us up, even if we can't always see how him working.
The whole world may stand against you, but God stands behind you.
As was said around 2,000 years ago:Romans 8:31b "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Ephesians 6:10-11
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
