When you think confidence you may think of one whose shoulders are held high, who has a certain air about them.

You may think of a certain athlete or actor or even someone you know personally who has a lot of confidence.

You may even have a lot of confidence.

Rarely do you consider imprisonment for one's faith a source of confidence, but that is precisely what we are about to see in Paul's life today.

In Philippians 1, Paul talks about the confidence that believers have in his chains - confidence because God will USE even his imprisonment to further the Good News of the Gospel!

Beloved, take heart, God will use whatever situation that He saw fit to allow in your life to further the Good News of the Gospel if you allow it! I share a story of contemporary missionaries in whose lives God allowed unspeakable tragedy, but who used that tragedy as a source of such confidence.

Turn in your Bibles to Philippians, Chapter 1, for today's installment of Rinse and Repeat!
