Hey guys, check out this proverb:

“In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.” Proverbs 14:26

Awesome, huh? When we dwell in the fear, respect, humility, and ways of Yahweh, the God of all the Universe, we have strong confidence. It’s not a puffed up shield of false confidence, or pride, but knowing that we’re in Him, loved by Him, protected by Him give us real confidence, real strength to stand, rather than the false confidence of “Oh, I have this such and such…” or “he/she is my such and such…” or “did you know what I such and such can do?…” It’s because He’s the such and such, we can go on being confident without having to worry, because He’s real confidence, because who can unseat Him?
The next part of the verse is rad too, because it says that His children, that’s those who believe In Jesus personally as their Savior, will have a place of refuge. So, when we’re in the middle of a struggle, a hard day, a tough situation, maybe you’ve lost that “such and such”, He’s offering a place of solitude, comfort and strength, by His Holy Spirit, in the presence of Him.

Brad and I were talking about his yesterday, and check out this cool verse that he was reminded of: Psalm 31:19-20

Peace and <3 in Him!
