Hebrews 10:35-36 English Standard Version

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.

As an insecure person with trust issues, what confidence can I possibly possess?

My confidence is in God.

2 Corinthians 3:3-5 English Standard Version

3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,

For some it is difficult to separate our physical lives from our spiritual life because we serve God in a physical world at the bequest of God who is Spirit and communicates to us by faith which is not seen by the natural world. Our actions if directed by God show what faith can do in this world, but it looks to them as if we ourselves are doing it in our own strength.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

We know the Lord and we know what He is asking of us. Whatever strength we have to stand comes from our relationship with Him by faith. We do not seek the credit because we do not deserve it. Praise God that He has called us, changed us and given us the confidence to know His will and the strength to choose rightly.

We do not want to continue without His guidance and His faith in us. Our Lord is the true and rightful righteous One. We are but servants.

The servant is not greater than the Master.

The world would have us say “I am the master of my own house.” 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 English Standard Version

19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
