OUR CONFIDENCE

Where does my confidence lie?

If it is in a political party, I will be disappointed.

If it is in our government, I will be disappointed.

If it is in this world, I will be disappointed.

If it is in any human being, I will be disappointed.

My confidence must be in GOD alone.

No one else and nothing else will do.

As I write this, I’m watching the devastating events of Afghanistan, and my heart is broken for them. There are already reports of Christian home pastors being murdered and girls being taken from their homes. The Afghan people are desperate to escape their country to the point of hanging onto US planes attempting to take off. Thousands are running for their lives. These people feel hopeless, abandoned and alone. God alone can save them.

As we praise the Lord this week as Our Confidence, let’s commit to pray that the underground Christian churches will thrive even in the midst of this turmoil. Let’s seek to put our confidence in our Sovereign Lord for He alone is where our hope lies.

Sunday Supplication

Lord, You alone are my Confidence. As I watch the heartbreaking images out of Afghanistan, I pray thousands will come to You as their hope in the midst of their desolation. Be their Confidence. Be mine. AMEN! SO BE IT!

Monday Manna

For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you. I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

Psalm 71:5-8

Tuesday Treasure

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

1 John 5:13-15

Wednesday Wisdom

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 10:19-22

Thursday Truth

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Ephesians 3:12

Friday Fact

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8
