Throughout our lives we have often heard the words, "have confidence" or "be more confident", in other words be sure of yourself and your ability to do whatever it is you are planning to accomplish. Certainly, it is important for us to believe in ourselves, however, that belief should always be grounded in our abilities being connected to God -- Philippians 4:6 -- I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. As Christian women of God we should define our confidence as knowing that we are who God says we are...not dependent on our own abilities, strengths or merits because in and of ourselves we are unreliable. We must, therefore, replace the world's definition of having confidence in ourselves to having GODfidence...faith in God..in His word...faith in the One who give us gifts and talents to carry out the work He has in advance set forth for us to do. GODfidence (confidence in God rather than ourselves) allows Him to intercede on our behalf. We don't have to feel uncertain in life and we don't have to rely on our own strength. Instead, we can move forward in GODfidence...having a supernatural self assurance in our God given abilities...trusting God completely to equip us thoroughly to accomplish His will. God will not just leave us hanging out there alone when we trust and depend on Him! Walk in GODfidence!!!
Proverbs 3:26 , ESV: "for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught."
Philippians 1:6, KJV: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
