Confidence
God has given gifts to everyone; no one has been left out. God has a plan for our lives and He will equip us with everything we need to fulfill that plan. The gifts He gives us are not solely for our own benefit but are to be used in serving and caring for others. The first step in developing confidence in using our gifts is acknowledging that God is our creator and each one of us is individually gifted with the qualities God desires for us to use in His service.
Lord … You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. (Psalm 139:13-14 NLT)
As we participate in what God has planned for us to do God promises to help us. Are we willing to step forward, confident in who God says we are? Are we willing to follow the plan He has for us? Today, will we resolve to exchange our old pessimistic self for the new confident self who is created in God’s likeness?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the good plan You have for my life and the gifts you have given me to fulfill it. Help me to know that plan and fill me with Your power to carry it out. Amen
