The Source Of Our Confidence

-
Titus 3: 8 This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to engage in good deeds.  These things are good and profitable for men.  (NASB)

Good Day Men!

Have you ever wondered that what you said could have been said with greater conviction?  Everything you say is in direct relationship to where your confidence is based.  At work, your performance is a result of the confidence you have in the profession, trade or field in which you chose to be employed through.  You go to school to learn of that particular profession so you can do a better job once you’re out in the work force.  The only problem is that your training in the field you have chosen is limited to that particular field of expertise.  Often times when you enter the work force you find that school didn’t teach you everything you needed to know.  This is where we find that experience can be a great teacher.  Often times this method of learning can be somewhat intimidating.  There are those who will take advantage of your new job status and choose to embarrass you in front of your peers to “train you right”.  This is very cruel and unfair and can leave one with the feeling that they may have made a mistake in choosing that particular profession.  How sad this is.

God, on the other hand, will use you if you choose to seek His will in ALL things.  God loves us and wants us to experience His fullness in all we say and do.  He can take your profession and couple you with other seasoned committed believers. Ask God to point out other godly men in your company, and He will guide you to them.  There is strength in numbers and godly wisdom can be gained when you hook up with the right persons at work. 

Do you want to have confidence in your work?  Ask God to help you.  Do you want to have more confidence in what you say?  Read the Bible daily.  God can and will show himself through your efforts and He will give you confidence you never had once you focus on Him.

Allow God to express Himself through all you say and do.  This doesn’t mean you will become a preacher at work, but the confidence that others will see through you will point to Him.

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will and His way through His Word.

Have a great day!!

Your servant in Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
