Confidence

Are you insecure? Only in total dependence is there total freedom from insecurity. That total dependence must rest on something that cannot be taken away or destroyed. Obviously, that something is God. If the reason I'm confident in front of others is because I have a fit body and a good hair day, then my confidence teeters on a thin thread. If the reason I don't fear man is because I've never lost an argument, then the confidence that rests on my own quick intellect has no guarantee, as I could have a stroke or develop Alzheimer's disease. The great paradox is that before I can feel secure, I must admit that I have nothing to offer toward my security. God is my anchor. He is my Rock.
