Confidence

a WORD from God's Book

"When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence, and the humble person He will save.

These are all warning markers—danger!—in our history books, written down so that we don't repeat their mistakes. Our positions in the story are parallel—they at the beginning, we at the end—and we are just as capable of messing it up as they were. Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence.

But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.

Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God.

"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

Job 22:29 1 Corinthians 10:11 1 Thessalonians 5:8 2 Corinthians 3:4 Jeremiah 17:7 Hebrews 10:35

The power of Satan is no match for the power of Jesus.
