What is confidence? a feeling or belief that you or someone can do something well or succeed at something : the feeling of being certain that something will happen or that something is true

Synonyms: Trust, Belief, Faith, Credence, Conviction

Where do you have your confidence?  Is it in yourself?  Is it in your job? Is it in your spouse? Now, I’m not saying that to have confidence in those areas are necessarily bad things.  But, it is when they supersede your confidence in Jesus; a problem could arise.

This was an area I had to visit in my life.  Many years ago I had become so self-reliant that I put self, job, spouse, and Jesus all on the same level. I would even say I placed self slightly above them all. As circumstances arose and I began losing control in the areas I thought had straight, my confidence was shaken.

Only when I humbled myself and had “a come to Jesus meeting” that I realized that I was doing everything in my own strength.  I did not even notice what I was doing and how out of order I was.  It was in my time with the LORD that he began to show me my error and teach me.  You better believe I began correcting that error quickly. In all of my abilities I give God the Glory for real this time not just lips service but in heart service.

I simply shared with you to encourage you that putting your Confidence in Jesus is a sure thing.
