The confidence in Chirst
Parise:Thank God to keep my accountability with Him in daily morning.
What I read in this morning was "Confidence."
"To succeed at being ourselves, we must be confident. It is not self-confidence we are to seek, but confidence in Christ. I like The Amplified Bible translation of Philippians 4:13, which say, "...I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency." It is actually a sin to be confident in ourselves-but to be confident in Christ should be the goal of every believer.
Jesus said, "...apart from Me (cut off from vital union with Me) you can do nothing" (John 15:5). We keep attempting to do things in the strength of our own flesh, instead of placing all our confidence in Him.
Most of our internal agony, our struggling and frustration, comes from misplaced confidence. In Philippians 3:3, Paul says that we are to put no confidnece in the flesh. Theis means our own selves as well as our friends and family. I am not saying that we cannot trust anyone, but if we give to others the trust that belongs to God alone, we will not experience victory. God will not allow us to succeed until our confidence is in the right place, or mor correctly, in the right Person. " "
God'w word for you ~
(Most) blessed is the man who believes in , trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. ( Jeremiah 17:7)
