Jeremiah 17:7, 8
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” (NIV)

But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They’re like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers— Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season. (MSG)

The life God blesses is the person with confident trust in him no matter the circumstances.

Self-confidence is good and helpful. It grows through knowledge and practice. It provides a base to build on for achieving increasing measures of success.

God-confidence develops similarly. Trust God in what you know about him, his will, and his ways. Developing this habitual mindset builds the kind of life of assurance the worst drought cannot dry out and the worst flood cannot drown.

God-confidence is built a moment at a time, day after day, over the course of a lifetime.

God-confident people live largely untroubled by fear and worry. They are able to wait for God’s timing without distress or concern. They know from abundant personal experience how God provides wherever he guides.

Today is a good day to build God-confidence. Memorize and meditate on Proverbs 3:5, 6. Read these verses in the New Living Translation. The Message says it this way:

Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.

What necessitates God-confidence in the day before you? Turn these verses into prayers as often as necessary. Feel your strength grow with every repetition.

I will exercise God-confidence and grow stronger, deeper, and healthier.

—

Our Father, when I am afraid, when I am ill-equipped, when I am at my wit’s end, I will trust in you. You are my bottom line. You are my rock bottom. You are my all in all. You see what I cannot perceive. You understand what confuses me. You are more ready to help me than I am to trust you. Give me your clear direction in every moment. Place your thoughts in my mind and your words in my mouth. Keep me on the right track headed toward the right destination at the right speed. Amen.

Daily D – Leviticus 8:23-26

Leviticus 8:23-26 The LORD said to Moses, “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting, but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”

Daily D – Psalm 40:1-3

Psalm 40:1-3

“I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.”

Daily D – Leviticus 26:3-13

Leviticus 26:3-13 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

“ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

“ ‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.”
