I love today's topic - CONFIDENCE. You might be thinking, how on earth can having confidence be a key to a blessing? Ah-ha! It's scriptural! I'm not talking pride, greed, power, 'I'm better than you' kind of confidence. I'm talking - having a GOD given confidence. You see, in Philippians 1:6, it says, "being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it it until the day of Jesus Christ." That verse is excellent but it gets even better....if you now read Luke 22:52, Jesus says right as they were getting ready to arrest Him, "Am I some dangerous revolutionary that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?" When you put those verses together it causes me to realize how amazing Jesus was. He was an amazingly confident person. He resembled strength, peace, love - someone that knew what His missions was and where He was going. He had a life mission and He accomplished it in such a powerful way so that WE could live an abundant and dynamic life.
Think about it: Jesus wasn't someone who I would think of as a 'dangerous person' the way the soldiers were reacting to Him but if you put a little more thought into it, they obviously knew and recognized He was a man of great power and ability. He was dangerous enough to take a stand in what He believed in and never backing down to peer pressure, what-would-others-think syndrome, or fear. He chose to live a FULL life - walking in confidence the promises of His Father. So much so that Pilot did everything he could to destroy Him but I can't help but think of Mc Hammer's song: 'Can't touch this!' lol! You can't touch what belongs to the KING!! You are a part of his Kingdom so that includes you as well!
Guess what? It's the very same Father that Jesus lived His life for when He walked this earth that we live for. It's the same Father that gave Jesus the confidence and strength to do what He called Him to do. Don't ever forget that what God has called you to do, you can do it in confidence because you are a 'dangerous' woman of God - on a mission. Living life knowing that if a cliff came, (not a 'real' cliff - lol!) - with your confidence in God, you won't be afraid to jump because it's not your wings you are flying on but God's.
So, Fly!! Walk out your life, your dreams - no matter what the 'world' circumstances might look like. Be confident and know that you belong to the KING!
