Have confidence in what God has promised you he will do and be secure about your future here and your eternal future when you pass.
Confidence, something that a lot of people so they do not have and wish they had more of in order to do a lot more things they desire to do in life. It could be to go to school for something, to start a new career, a business, or to start a relationship with someone. We can all struggle with confidence in some field and area in our life, how we handle it though determines what we do with our life and how to get through it. We, as children of The Great Almighty, can be confident in our security for the future we have when we pass from here. We have a secure future with God our creator through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We do have a secure hope and future that when we pass from here and earnestly followed God’s calling, we will go home to him. Be confident that God will provide for everything that you need in order to live the life he has for you and the people he needs you to have and to share your blessings with.
We know that the plans of The Lord will stand firm and that what he wills and orders will come to pass no matter we what we say or do. We can make plans about our lives, yet ultimately, it is God’s will that prevails because he has ultimate control over our lives and the universe and the Heavens above. Does this mean he does not take into account our desires that we have? Have confidence that if the desires are given to you by God himself and that they are to also help people and to help others to find him, he will deeply take them into consideration. God will transform your heart to match his desires and his way of life he designed for all of us to have and to live with him. Be confident that if God gave you dreams, desires, and a promise about something he has planned for you, it will come to pass in its due time. Have confidence that God will make happen what he has set out to make happen for your life no matter what gets thrown at you. He might put you in a season to prepare for it, yet he will make it come to pass as he works on you and makes you ‘fluent’ for the things he has for you.
We can be as sure about our future lives in Heaven and the future life we have here on earth as we sure that Jesus did rise from the dead. We know that Jesus is risen and yet we are so lost and unconfident about our future and what God has in store for us. We as people think that it is hard to live for God, to live for Jesus, it’s hard for us to give people our time, money, and energy and to accept the death of loved ones, why? It is because for a lot of us, we think that this world is the only thing ad after death there is nothing more other than an endless void. Yet, we know that through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we will be risen with him to Heaven, so there is more than this world, we are here right now for a purpose. Have confidence is God’s plan for your future, allowing him to guide and direct you to where he needs you and desires you to go and speak and preach to those who need to hear his message. It might be a prison, a hospital, war torn country, and so on, allow God to help you through and have confidence knowing that he knows what he is doing.
And the last thing to mention, have confidence in God’s promises, his promises of joy, peace, laughter, love, and blessings. God makes promises and then he keeps them, unlike us where we can break our promises, God is faithful to his promises for generations to come. We see his promises kept all throughout the bible, it might take centuries to happen, God still keeps them. If God has made you a promise, it might be that he is moving you and forming you into the person and moving you into the area where the promise is in order for you to enjoy it. God doesn’t give us what we want when we want if we are not ready, that isn’t love, that is bad parenting. You can promise your child a car, but you wouldn’t give it to them when they are only 5 years old and do not know have to drive let alone can drive anyway would you? In order to experience the full future God has for us, we must be willing to love and live for others and cancel our debts that we have with others just as God cancelled out debt of sin. We are only here temporarily, and we do not own anything that God has given us, we are loaning it from God, he gave it to us for a reason to use for his kingdom, not for the world.
Do not take advantage of those who are less fortunate, help them and be considerate when talking and speaking with others wherever you are. At work, hone, on the street, or talking online doing whatever, be considerate of those around you and have a heart like Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. God owns everything we have permanently, so be good stewards of what he has allowed you to have in order to show him you can be trusted with little and also with much. Do not go for the world’s view and be selfish, self-centered, and ruthless. Be loving, giving, self-denying, and joyful to those who need to see the ray of sunshine in the world of darkness that we all live in. Show people who the children of God are and how they act and support one another and those in need, allow God to give you that confidence to help many people in your life. May God protect you, help, love you, and may he bless you with things he said he would and the confidence to help others, Amen!!!!
