LIVE WITH THE CONFIDENCE OF THE LORD

” DO NOT BE AFRAID OR DISCOURAGED, FOR THE LORD WILL PERSONALLY GO AHEAD OF YOU. HE WILL BE WITH YOU; HE WILL NEITHER FAIL YOU OR ABANDON YOU.” DEUTERONOMY 31:8

Have you ever been hesitant to go somewhere or do something because you felt inadequate or was fearful of what someone would say about you? I think we have all felt this way at one time or another. As we begin our walk with Jesus, we are assured that we should fear nothing. We should be filled with the confidence of our Lord as he assures us that he is always going before us. If we believe that promise, then we will understand more clearly that the Lord is paving the way for us to walk and move forward. In all that we do and say we should be trusting the Lord to go before us. We should be trusting him for the words we are to speak and the actions we are to take. The Lord has made it very clear to me that I must trust him in all things. If I don’t then the ability for things to be messed up greatly increase. This is not easy. We must train ourselves up to be able to trust him in all things. We must continue to build our faith and to meditate in his word daily. We must stay in constant communication with him. We must remember that He is not only our Lord and Savior but he also our best friend. We must be able to go to him with any and all problems, concerns and fears. If we can train ourselves to do this then our lives will become much more joyful and pleasing to live. We should not try to be someone who we are not but instead be who God made us to be and live our lives with confidence and joy. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
