"Have Confidence In God Alone

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD ALONE


(JEREMIAH 17:5 AMP)
THUS SAYS THE LORD: CURSED [WITH GREAT EVIL] IS THE STRONG MAN WHOSE TRUSTS IN AND RELIES ON FRAIL MAN, MAKING WEAK [HUMAN] FLESH HIS ARM, AND WHOSE MIND AND HEART TURN ASIDE FROM THE LORD.


In order to succeed at anything, we must have confidence, but first and foremost it must be confidence in God, not confidence in anything else. We must develop confidence in God's love, goodness, and mercy. We must believe that He wants us to succeed.

God did not create us for failure. We may fail at some things on our way to success, but if we trust Him, He will take even our mistakes and work them out for our good (Romans 8:28).

Hebrews 3:6 tells us we must "...hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]." It is important to realize that a mistake is not the end of things if we hold on to our confidence.

We all have a destiny, but just because we are destined to do something does not mean that it will automatically happen. I (Joyce Meyer) went through many things while God was developing me and my ministry. Often I lost my confidence concerning the call on my life. Each time I had to get my confidence back before I could go forward again.



Put your confidence in God alone, and He will cause you to truly succeed at being yourself.
