Confidence
What do you know that you know, that you know to be true?
Earlier this week I had a mini revelation or understanding
about my life. It wasn't something now I
think of it that I didn't already know, but it was clarity that shone its' light
over an area of my work.
'You know that you know that you know to be true.....' |
I am confident in knowing that if I want to learn something
and everyday I do a little bit to expand my knowledge, put it into practise,
review and learn some more, I can be guaranteed that in a year I’ll know more
than I did when I started.
Having confidence helps me to know that in every situation there
are several outcomes possible and if I am flexible in my approach and not ridged
then it is possible to be able to gain insight and understanding from any outcome.
In our faith we have confidence that there is a living God
who cares for us and wants us to live a life beyond anything we could possibly
imagine, using the gifts, talents and abilities that we have all been given,
working on those ones that need work, sharing, giving, blessing....
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength... Philippians 4:13
God wants you to be curious about life, to stretch beyond
what society tells you is the norm and to keep asking those questions like a
child who learns about his surroundings starts to ask the ‘why’ questions. God’s word tells us to 'ask and you will receive,
seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be open in Matthew 7:7'. There is no standing still, no static, or staleness but an
excitement about each and every day, knowing that the difference that it will
bring depends on our perspective and whether our glass is half empty or remains
half full.
The Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught... Proverbs 3:26
What have you put your confidence in?
