"So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised."
Have you ever wanted to give up? Have you ever felt that life is just treating you unfairly? Is seeking God's will for your life worth the trouble it takes to find it?
I invite you to fall in love with this passage from Hebrews just like I have. Let's look at the first part of this verse...
"So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord."
What does it mean to have "confident trust?"
I believe that God wants us to be confident in three truths:
1) He knows more than we do
2) He loves us more than we love ourselves
3) We can fall into Him when we can't stand on our own.
My challenge for you today.... internalize those three thoughts. Be confident in those three facts and start your morning off with the knowledge that our confident trust in God's abilities is well-founded. No matter what you are going to face (or have already faced) today...God is bigger. No matter what sorrow or pain you are feeling...God has felt it. Struggling to trust Him? Tell Him, He can handle it. We won't always understand what God allows to enter our lives...we just have to trust that He will lead us through it.
We'll dig a little deeper into this passage tomorrow...
