And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. - I John 5:14-15 (KJV).
Yesterday I listened to the 700 Club, and a financial expert talked about how we are having a "crisis of confidence" in our economy.
I thought to myself, "That's what a lack of faith is. A crisis of confidence."
Faith is the confidence that something is going to happen.
We can either have confidence that the Word of God is going to change our situation. Or we can have confidence that things are going to get worse.
We are all going through a "crisis of confidence." What will we believe?
Will we have confidence in what God says? That we are healed, saved and delivered? Even when things look bleak?
Or will we have confidence in our circumstances? Our bills piling up? Our pains and aches?
Choose to have confidence in God and His Word over what you see with your natural eyes.
Though the storms rage around you, remember to keep your eyes on Jesus and put your confidence in Him and His finished work on the cross.
