Do you notice when you feel confident that you stand up straight? However, when you are unsure of yourself you droop and hang your head because you don't want to be picked, to answer the question or to be noticed - you are hiding. When I am confidently exalting my God, my posture is in a standing, unmovable position. My head is lifted up not looking at me and my circumstances but looking at the Lord of all who can overcome all things in my life. FULL STOP. How wonderful that He is in my life to do this? My position is changed by my God, allowing me to move forward and upward towards the goals and "plans" he has for me. As Children of God we win every time! When I lack confidence or am not doing too well, I come to God expecting nothing, or hardly anything. But when we are weak, HE IS STRONG. And then HE can really enter my life, my circumstances, my marriage, my children, my work, and my plans for my life. For as we sing in a song at Church HE IS THE "Lifter of my head". To surrender to Our God - being confident or lacking confidence - we always WIN. Our God encompasses every circumstance we find ourselves in. When there is a great harvest we are fed so well and when there is drought he provides for us and quenches our thirst. What more could we want? God's desire for us is so great that he lets nothing stand in his way to reach us. The Lord God jealously desires us for Himself. HE IS the lover of our souls. We used to sing "Jesus Lover of my Soul; Jesus I will never let you go" - actually I think it is more true that He will never let go of us! So come to Him confident or lacking in confidence, come and get to know Him and see how much your God shows you He loves you. |
