Being Confident

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Philippians 1:6

What is there in our day that earns our confidence? We understand everything and everyone will someday bring us disappointment, and that total confidence in this life is truly unthinkable. Here we see Paul saying his confidence is in God, the very one who saved his unworthy soul and made him one of the greatest men in the history of this world outside of Jesus Christ. Paul had a total understanding that once God saved him and called him to his work that nothing or no one could ever stop what God wanted done. When Paul said “will perform it” he meant, what God has started He will also finish no matter how much other’s may try to stop it.

Beloved we as believers need to be confident that God does not get defeated therefore what God has started in your life He will see it through. We may be let down by so many in our life but God will remain faithful until the end and true to you. Hebrews 10:35 “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.” Therefore do not loose your faith in these troubled times and please remember God never promised we would not see hard times nor did He promise we would not have great troubles in this life, in fact He promised we would have many troubles and hard times, but our faith in Him is to remain true because HE WILL NOT LET US DOWN.
