With God all things are possible

| Psalm 9:10 And they who know Your name will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Fear comes in many sizes, shapes and forms. As Christians, how do we face fear?
Too many of us are shaken up, frightened and panicked by the storms of life. We claim to have confidence in Christ but then the first dark shadows seep over us and the path we tread looks gloomy we go into a deep slump of despair.........
This is not as it should be.
When fear invades our spirits, we need to turn to the One in whom we have confidence.......Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. The One who tells us that He is with us always to the very end of age. Matthew 28:20
The attitude of a believer must be " Things do look bad, but I believe Him; and when the whole thing is told I am confident in my belief will be justified and God will be revealed as a God of love and justice.
It does not mean that we won't have problems, but it does mean that our problems will never come in between us and our faith in Him. Lord, I don't understand this, but I am certain that there will be an explanation, and in the meantime I put it to one side.
God instructs us to be strong and courageous, for "no one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life....I will be with you, I will never leave you nor forsake you Joshua 1:5
Do you have confidence that God is with you in the storms of life? Or do you trust in something other than Christ; " some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God Psalm 20:7
Psalm 23 I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
The only confidence we have in this life is knowing that God is always with us. He is our Protector, Comforter, and Guide. And if we are wise enough, we will look for and find God in every moment, filled with assurance that He is with us through the good and the bad, the known and the unknown , the beginning and the end. He is there when others are not. If we follow God through prayer and the reading and application of His Word, He will keep us close to Him, traveling down the right path, until we reach our home, where He greets us. within the shelter of His embrace, fear is vanquished.
Be a person with powerful confidence in Christ. Renew your mind each and every morning with God's truth, for that truth is what will keep you confident and expectant throughout the day. Plant God's Word in your heart and mind. Pray for His deliverance: Deliver me from evil, Leave your fears at His feet.
2 Timothy 1:7 God has not given us spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
Lord, rid me of the fears that are plaguing me as I come to You this morning. Calm my racing heart. Fill me with Your strength and courage. The storms, the trails, feel as if they are going to overcome me, but You have overcome the world and will not let me be brought down. You have given me the spirit of power, love, and self discipline, and I revel in this knowledge. I PRAISE Your name, Your saving name! AMEN
For it is with God all things are possible.
HAVE A VERY BLESSED POWER OF CONFIDENCE DAY IN CHRIST
