God Wants You To Be Confident - Jeremiah 17:7-8

Jul 19

Do you consider yourself to be a self-confident person? What about a God-confident person? Is there a difference, or should there be? Over the next few weeks, we will unpack different aspects of confidence.

The truth is that there is a huge difference between confident people and insecure people.

In today's episode, we are going to discuss what attributes a confident person has vs an insecure person. We will also dig a little deeper into Jeremiah 17:7-8 because God has some specific blessings for people who put their confidence in HIM. God wants you to live a life of confidence.

Main Takeaways:

Trusting in anything but God leads to destruction
People who put their confidence in God fear less, worry less, and produce "fruit" even during seasons of stress
When we study God's word and seek to plant ourselves in His truth, we will live a life of contentment and confident hope.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, your word says I can expect many blessings as I place my confidence and trust in you. This week, please show me areas where I haven’t trusted you and have put my confidence in something else. Heal my heart and remind me always to seek your approval first.

Amen
