“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.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
REFERENCES: Proverbs 3:5-6, Jeremiah 17:5-6, Matthew 6:31-33
What do you put your confidence in? Our journey with Christ starts with believing that He is Lord. As we mature in our faith, our confidence in the Lord comes from our convictions about the Lord. Examine your convictions and how they shape your relationship with Jesus. It's easy to forget how faithful the Lord has been without remembering all that He has helped us through and without glorifying Him through how we live our lives. As you reflect on the past year, now is the opportunity to decide how you will respond to God's goodness in the coming year.
Putting your confidence in God results in blessing
God’s word convicts us to seek his Kingdom first over striving in our own strength, and the best way to fuel this conviction is to reflect on the past. When we look back to remember how much God has done for us, it becomes easier to see how good and faithful God is, even when we are not.
God’s work, taking place in us and through us, is the very thing that should remind us of His faithfulness and goodness. The Lord has helped us thus far, and will continue to. Putting our confidence in the Lord is the only reasonable response to His faithfulness in our lives. We can guide our actions by asking ourselves the following question: “What is the reasonable response to what Jesus has done for me?”
God’s faithfulness changes everything. When we enter relationship with God, he changes us from the inside out. We can rest assured that if he did it for someone else, he’ll do it for us. He’s the God of the “do it again.” We all have moments of uncertainty, doubt, hesitation and fear. This doesn’t makes us bad Christians, it just makes us forgetful Christians. But just as Samuel laid down a stone to help his people remember, we also have to remember that our very lives are living stones, being built up into a spiritual house. The work taking place in you and through you is the very thing that should remind you of his faithfulness and goodness.
Take time this week to reflect on the faithfulness of God in your own life. Write down the ways in which he has provided. Share this list with a friend and encourage them to do the same!
