Credence, self-assurance and trust are all words synonymous with confidence. Whether you’re an individual, duo or team, confidence leads people to rely on their partner and or talents. However, when success is allusive, levels of belief tend to diminish, fade and shrink.
According to Psalm 71:5, the Lord is the source of confidence. When your own confidence becomes shattered, God puts the hope back into desperate souls. Whether this is David or some other author, its apparent faith begins at an early age. This seems to be a principle passed onto King Solomon, mentioned in Proverbs 22:6. Thus, confidence is taught, trained by godly mentors so that a biblical foundation is established.
Today, imperfect people make it hard to trust anyone. The danger of placing someone in high regards takes your eyes off of the Creator, gazing your eyes toward a flawed creation. Don’t allow yourself to fall into this trap. When your life begins to fall apart, lean on the Lord, Philippians 4:13, to be your source of strength to regain confidence.
