FAITH CAPSULE: In this wicked world, who or what is your confidence?

Proverbs 14

Boldness and character are the winning combination that is rooted in having CONFIDENCE in God.
Having Confidence in God is what will make a difference to live life in this wicked world for the glory of God.
Having confidence in God does not happen by accident.
Get to know God, read to study and live by the word of God as confidence, the evidence of ones that KNOW GOD.
One that knows God is with confidence in God, with confidence which cannot fail to gain God’s reward.
One that knows God should not cast away the confidence but endure to do the will of God, to claim and gain God’s promise. (Hebrews 10:35-36)
What are you counting as the source of your confidence?
Job, despite his wealth, he could not count on his CONFIDENCE because of what he had or who he was in the hand of God. In his word, he identifies that if one places confidence outside of God, the sin of iniquity will count against one before God.
Job 31;24-28 , records Job’s case against having confidence outside of God, “If I have made gold my hope, Or said to fine gold, ‘You are my confidence’; If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great And because my hand had gained much; If I have observed the sun when it shines, Or the moon moving in brightness, So that my heart has been secretly enticed, And my mouth has kissed my hand; This also would be an iniquity deserving of judgment, For I would have denied God who is above.”
Who or what is your source of confidence?
If your confidence is yet to be rooted in KNOWING GOD, you are set to be a victim of this wicked world.
Having confidence in the Lord God, His word is true to deliver and preserve one in this wicked world.
The Bible word of God records confidence in the word of God:
Psalm 65:5, “…You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the far-off seas.”
Psalm 118:8-9, “It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes.”
Having the confidence of God cannot be denied for one that gives self to the word of God.
With the fear of God, one will be living the confidence of God. Proverbs 14:26 buttress, “In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.”
The unfaithful one is the evidence of fear and confidence of God will not be in place in the time of trouble. Proverbs 25:19 buttress, ‘Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.”
Allow God to be your confidence that does not fail.

Prayer for today: Ask God that you want His confidence to reign and rule your life.
