Where does true confidence come from?
The world often tells us that confidence comes from believing in ourselves.
But our feelings about ourselves can change from day to day.
Some days we feel strong and capable, while on other days we doubt ourselves and feel like we are not good enough.
When our confidence depends only on ourselves, it can easily disappear when we face difficulties.
But there is a deeper and stronger kind of confidence that does not fall apart when we feel weak.
That confidence comes from trusting God.
When you understand that you belong to God, you begin to see your true identity.
When you know that God stands with you, you do not have to be afraid of those who stand against you.
Paul reminds us that if God is on our side, no one can stand against us.
These words are more than just something comforting to hear. They give us a firm foundation for living with confidence.
So instead of trying harder to believe in your own abilities, learn to place your confidence in God, who never changes.
He is always on your side, and He will never leave you.
That is more than enough reason to move forward with confidence.
