The world around us wants us to place our confidence on our abilities or on what we can accomplish. We tend to feel like our level of confidence is based on what people say about us, how many likes we get, how popular we are, how much we have compared to others or how we look.
The more that we base our level of confidence on what is “popular” the harder it will be to ever feel at peace with ourselves and to be able to experience the true confidence that we can gain. It’s important for us to be honest with ourselves and ask ourselves, how confident Am I? Do I base my confidence on my own strength? Do I look for outside sources to bring me confidence? How can I gain stronger confidence in God?
To be confident in God means that we don’t need any outside sources to tell us our worth. We don’t need likes, comments, the popular vote or even everyone to like us. The confidence that God provides is different, It’s not prideful or conceited. Instead it’s peaceful, calm and filled with an inner strength & confidence that is full of FAITH IN GOD.
God confidence means that it’s full of courage even when there’s fear, because we know in whom we trust. It’s a confidence that has faith to get out of the boat and walk on water. It’s a confidence that is filled with a positive attitude, with hope, it looks upward and forward to the future and to the purpose that God has for our lives. It’s a confidence that is filled with strength and courage to live the best life that we can for God. ???
God teaches us in Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. & Proverbs 3:26 says; For the Lord shall be thy confidence.
God wants us to place our confidence on Him! That’s the reason why we’re here on this Earth! To get to know Him, To learn to trust Him, To test the limits of our Faith & to become who He intended us to become when He created us. The more that we trust Him, the more we will notice what we can do and accomplish with His help. He will guide us, help us and inspire us to know where we should be focusing our energies. Trust Him & see what a confident Child if God can do. ????
