It doesn’t take much to experience defeat. Just one
wrong word from a co-worker, a failed test, a wrong turn, a faulty alarm, or a
missed appointment can ruin our day. We are shaken and we lose our
self-confidence. What would life be like, how would it change, if we placed our
confidence in Jesus? What if it was no longer about us, but about Him?
When our
confidence and our faith depend on Him, we lose our self focus, our guilt-ridden
thoughts and our shaky foundation. Let Him take the reins this morning. Leave
Him with the unrest in your mind and heart and soul. Be bold in Jesus, not in
yourself. He can handle all of the indecision and all of the questions.
And
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but
for Him who died for them and was raised again. 2 Corinthians 5:15
I
have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by
faith in the Son of God. Who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20
If
God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31b
Jesus,
You gave everything for us. Keep us focused on You
today. You are for us and our confidence is in You. Help us to be bold and
courageous as we move about in the world today.
Amen
