Power Point:
I have a friend
who is the perfect picture of confidence. She just knows that things will work
out for her and they usually do. She
does not come timidly through the door of the Throne Room, looking down at the
floor, afraid to look God in the eye.
She marches in with all her royal robes flying behind her and knows as
she goes, what awaits her. And what is
that, you might ask? It is the Person
who loves her most in all world. It is the One
who died for her so that she might wear those royal robes. It is Perfect Love that
eradicates her fears.It is the One who is delighted to see her. The One who Rewards her boldness. When I grow up I want to be just like her!
As I think about my
friend, I am reminded that God says, that Faith is Confident Assurance. Faith doesn't hide itself in a closet
waiting for God to find it. Faith in Him
marches boldly into the Throne Room with its royal robes flying, armed with the
promises of God.
Sometimes its good to take a look at where our confidence lies
isn't it?
Faith is confident assurance that God will REWARD your confident
assurance in Him.
Fear is confident assurance that He will not.
Fear is confident assurance that His "good" is not good
enough for you, or is not meant for you.
Faith is confident assurance that no matter what circumstances
you find yourself in, they are "a good thing on the way" because God is
faithful to you.
Fear is confident assurance that God won't show up, won't help, and
won't honor you.
The pendulum swings
back and forth doesn't it? Some days we
have great faith and some days we have great fear. It all depends on where you set your mind.
Which side of confident assurance are you on my friend? At the end of the day, is your heart resting
in the goodness of God to reward and bless you no matter what your circumstance
may be? Are you swinging back and forth
between fear and faith? Perhaps today
would be a good day to remind yourself that God's will is good, acceptable
and perfect; For you, for them, and
for this-and for that. Lean into Him, and He will direct your heart into
confident assurance in Him. He loves to show us how really good He is, so that
we can be confident in Him.
Power Thought:
God's goodness is His state of mind, His state of being. It's who He is all the time. You can be sure
of that, very, very sure.
