Confidence Before God
Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
This is an excerpt for this time of year from my book, "The Miracle Year."
We all have a need for confidence. I believe one of the biggest keys in life is that we are continually growing, which means that we need to continually learn and master new skills. Mastering new skills requires us to grow our confidence.
1 John 3:21 says that if our hearts do not condemn us, we will have confidence before God. The biggest key to increasing confidence is dealing with condemnation. We often lack confidence because we are beating ourselves up, thinking that we are not good enough or not capable of excelling in certain areas. To develop confidence, we must first roll away condemnation so that we are willing to grow and try new things.
Condemnation zaps confidence. God is living in us, and he can help us master new things.
Once condemnation is rolled away, we will have the courage to get started and the commitment to follow through.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
