Confidence is an important trait for the Christian. Non-Christians look for weaknesses in our faith and many times they see the chink in the armor when it comes to lack of confidence. Do you have faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ or not? Are you confident in your future? Do you know that you know that you know you will spend eternity in Heaven? Do you reflect your confidence by you actions?
Our display of worry, our fear of death, our concerns about failure, are all related to our confidence. Our faith is to be questioned if we can't be confident about our future. Gods plan is perfect. His plan will have a perfect ending. His plan will be completed in us!
The theme of this blog is prayer, bible study, and worship. Every part of our lives should be built AROUND these three practices. You can't developed confidence in your faith or Gods plan unless you do these things. I am no different than you. I need this reminder often.
Another place to help with confidence is watching those around you that have confidence in their faith and walk with Christ. I have had many of those in my life. My mom is definitely one of those people. She has had a life filled with faith. I have seen her handle the ups and downs of life with grace, dignity, and confidence. Thank Mom for being such a great role model.
