DAY SIXTY TWO | Confidence – 5

DAY SIXTY TWO | CONFIDENCE – 5

Psalm 4: 8, “The Lord only causes me to dwell in safety.”

The final conviction that produces amazing confidence in God is that He is my shield and my defence. I am confident that I will be safe when I entrust my life to the Lord. Learning to trust God to keep you safe is a huge lesson for some people. Some people have never been in a position of security and safety and so it is hard for them to accept that a God they have never seen can be their security. At the end of the day you must be able to lie down and go to sleep knowing that your life is held in the arms of a loving heavenly Father. It is all about trust. God can never be truly God to you, unless you implicitly trust Him with everything you have.

On the journey of life there will be many occasions when our security and safety is threatened. These are not times to fall apart, but rather are times to fall into the arms of our loving Heavenly Father.

Remember the story of Jesus in the small fishing boat crossing the lake on a ministry journey. A huge storm blew up and threatened the lives of all on board. Everyone worked feverishly to bail the water out of the sinking boat, but Jesus was sound asleep while this panic attack was taking place.

You must never let the storms of life get into your spirit. They will come as sure as night follows day. But when they come you must express your trust in the Lord to deliver you and find a place to lie down and take a nap.

Nothing has ever been achieved through worry, but plenty has been achieved the next morning after you have rested up and are refreshed to face another day.
