Good morning, Champion - breakfast is served.
=THE WORLD CAN'T TAKE WHAT IT DIDN'T GIVE=
Hebrews 10:35-36
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you
have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may
receive the promise.
In the gospels Jesus revealed the devil as a thief (John 10:10). He was and
will always be a stinking thief, intent on stealing from God's people. What
do thieves do steal? Valuable things. What is it that he is ever-wanting to
steal from you and me? The answer is simple: every good thing that God has
given us.
* Our peace (that peace that passes all human understanding and guards our
hearts in Christ)
* Our joy (that force beyond mere happiness that keeps us strong in even
the hardest of times)
* Our revelation of righteousness; oh, how he ever longs to get us back
into the grind of performance and works-based religion.
But I think the one he really, really wants is your confidence. Why? Because
Hebrews says it is of great reward.
He wants to snatch from under you your confidence in:
* Who you are – your God-given identity (he is the greatest identity thief
of them all)
* What you can do – Your God-given potential and abilities
* What you can have or expect – Your God-given expectations and promised
lands
Your God-based confidence is of great reward, because when, with confidence,
you endure (just keep on going) you will inherit (come into possession) all
that God has promised you. If he can get you to cast away that confidence
then he can block you inheriting all that God has for you. Don't let him!
If you've ever watched people walking around the shops you can tell by how
people hold and carry themselves those who have confidence and those who
don't. Those with confidence have their heads lifted and their shoulders
back, and they walk with steps that say "I belong here". That's how God
wants you to walk through this and every day; His word should ever cause you
to lift your head, put back your shoulders and face the day and all it holds
with courage and boldness because, as with Joshua so it is with you - GOD IS
WITH YOU!
_Confidence does not need to be loud it needs to be silently deep rooted!_
Often quiet confidence has more power than loud confidence; that confidence
that you have deep down that quietly yet firmly says, "I know God is for me
and His promises over me are yes and amen, I know that things may seem
strange now but THEY WILL TURN AROUND FOR MY GOOD!"
Isaiah 30:15b
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.
The world can only take away or take back from you what it gave you. That is
why we do not live by worldly-given confidence but God's because then, when
the world or the devil try to take or steal it, we can say, "Get stuffed -
you did not give it so you cannot take it away!" Hold tight to the
confidence you have in God today, be that hero He has called you to be
because the Lord thy God is with you, Champion! Today, live confident, get
your head up - you're a child of God, not a pauper.
Bless you,
Andy
