We are encouraged to believe in ourselves, but I wonder if that’s the best we can do. Self-confidence is important I’ll grant you that. Without it few of us would take the kind of risks necessary to move ahead in life. Still to meet life’s inevitable challenges we need something more than self-confidence. We need faith. Not faith in ourselves but faith in God. Jesus said, “‘Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you’” (Mark 11:22 MSG). With faith in God nothing will be too much for you!
“Through acts of faith they…turned disadvantage to advantage, won battles, routed alien armies. Women received their loved ones back from the dead.”
— Hebrews 11:34-35 (MSG)
Lord Jesus replace our self-confidence with confidence in God. Amen.
