God Confidence

"Lacking time, energy, money - consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto Me in unashamed dependence... Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on Me." (125)
Lack can set us up for a far different perspective on life. It can be much like a pair of glasses that magnifies the challenge and shrinks our ability to make a worthy contribution.  We can feel extremely inadequate. This is when I recognize I must exercise "God Confidence!"
"Being confident of this, that HE who began a good work in (me) WILL carry it on to completion, until the day He comes (for me)." (Phil. 1:6)  Lack can open the door to a my true Source, God!
My lack of confidence is challenged by God Confidence! Therein lies my highest confidence...
In Him alone...dmc

  1. I love God's perfect timing! This comes at a time when I am dealing with the pain of brokenhearts and old feelings are being revisited. James 1:2 really helps to remind me that when trials come, God is right there with me and I can look to him for comfort. Tough times teach perseverance and helps train me to find a positive outlook in any situation. Thanks Dawn Marie for Phil. 1:6 That song will ring through my head all day and give me comfort! copy and paste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNjZlHARnEk

    This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it! :)
