Confidence In God!
"But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God, that
I may declare all Your works."
Psalm 73: 28
We are appreciative when we find a service or repair person
who instills confidence. It’s not a fancy truck or high-tech gear
that they have; it’s that they are there when we need them.
They may not advertise on the radio or TV, and they may not
have a web page or social media presence. They stay busy
because one satisfied customer tells a friend, who tells a
friend, and so on.
Similarly, the longer we walk with God, the more our confidence
in Him grows. We stop being attracted by bangles and baubles
of this world and find ourselves turning to Him in quietness and
strength. He's there when we need Him and never fails to meet
our needs.
This reality began to dawn on the disciples when some of those
following Him were offended by His teaching. When he asked the
disciples, “Do you also want to go away?” Peter replied, “Lord, to
whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life”
(John 6:66-68).
The more we embrace God’s perspective and spend
time with Him, the more our confidence in Him grows.
"The ultimate ground of faith and
knowledge is confidence in God."
Charles Hodge
