Where is my confidence? (1John 5:13-17) 121107
Reading the word of God gives me comfort, because I know that I am secured in eternity (v13). Reading the word of God gives me confident, because He hears what we ask of Him (v14-15). Reading the word of God gives me courage to confront sin, because God is gracious though serious about it (v16-17).
I am not too sure of many things lately. My life don’t seem to be going in the direction I hope it would go. But I just have to place my confident in God. I don’t know how, but I just have to. Maybe I am just too weak as a person. Maybe it is my personality flaws. Maybe God is breaking me and remoulding me. Maybe it is because of my unfaithfulness and sins that God is dealing with me. Maybe I just need to be stronger and confessed all my sins to Him. Maybe, I just have low self-esteem. Maybe I am too proud to admit my mistakes and show my weakness. Maybe I deserve it. But I still have to have confident in God.
At least He is the only One I can have confident. He is the only One I can place my confidence in. Jesus and His Cross is the reason I am hanging in and have my confidence in. I maybe still confused, depressed and uncertain about the future, but at least I can have confident in Christ.
I know where is my confidence. It is with Jesus, at the Cross. One day, He will return it to me and cloth me with a brand new confidence in Him. How about you? Where is your confidence?
