Confidence


Hebrews 10:35-36
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Confidence - full trust; belief in the powers; reliability of a person or thing

Reward - something given or received in return or recompense for service, merit, hardship, etc.

Endurance - the power of bearing pain, hardships, etc.; the ability or strength to continue or last, esp. despite fatigue, stress, or other adverse conditions

Trust and believe in God. He will reward you. There will be pain, hardships, and adverse conditions. However if you trust in the power and reliability of God, you will have the ability to continue despite the stress.

Confidence Builder
Keep a prayer journal and a praise journal or box. In the praise journal or box, record God's blessing of deliverance, protection, provision, etc. When your confidence level is low, read your praise journal and think about how God has already rewarded you! This will definitely help you to remain confident in God's ability. Remember He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or even think (Eph. 3:20).

Your confidence in God will cause you to endure. You definitely want to endure because at the end of the trial, after you have done the will of God, He will reward you! Be confident in God and stay in the race!
