Good -Life Devotional: CAST NOT AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE ( Part 1)

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
-Confidence That Comes from Knowing God's Will-
Text: Hebrews 10:35 — “Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.”
  Christian confidence is not arrogance, presumption, or wishful thinking. It is the settled assurance that comes from knowing God's character, trusting His Word, and walking according to His will. The Bible gives us a reasoned basis for confidence: God is faithful, His promises are trustworthy, and His character does not change. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
   One area where believers can have confidence is prayer. “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14, AMP). Our confidence in prayer is therefore not based on getting everything we want; it is based on knowing that God hears us when our requests agree with His will.
  But confidence must be sustained through patience. Hebrews 6:12 warns believers not to become sluggish, but to imitate those who “through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Abraham waited for God's promise. Caleb waited forty-five years before receiving his inheritance (Joshua 14:10-13). Through all those years, Caleb did not abandon his confidence in God's promise.
   Apologetically, this reminds us that biblical faith is not blind optimism. It is confidence grounded in God's revealed character and demonstrated faithfulness.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome the fear of failure. Father, help me not to cast away my confidence. Teach me to pray according to Your will, wait patiently for Your promises, and remain steadfast when circumstances challenge my faith. Amen.
