Confidence in God

 Scripture:

“That's why God is on our side and will lead us into battle when the priests sound the signal on the trumpets. It's no use, Israelites. You might as well give up. There's no way you can defeat the Lord, the God your ancestors worshiped.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭13:12‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

Judah was being attacked by Israel. Israel had been following false gods and Judah had been following the Lord God of their forefathers. Judah sent this message to Israel, letting them know God was on their side and there was no way He was going to let them lose to a nation that had drifted away from Him. He tells them, “You might as well give up.”  The king’s confidence level in God was awesome.

Application:

When you know you have been serving God properly and following His ways, there is great confidence built up because you know God has got your back. As believers, walking with the Lord should give us the same confidence. Because we know we are living right, we can expect that God will step up and step in when necessary.

Prayer:

Father, I have faith  and trust in You, but increase my faith. Increase my confidence. Even right now when I need a financial breakthrough, please step in and demonstrate Your goodness once again. Help me through this difficult situation. Heal my lat and Cheryl’s nerve in her arm. Provide for us as we have followed You completely.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
