The question today is: How can you become a God-confident woman or man?

First, you must continue to grow in your knowledge of Jesus and the Word by making them a daily priority in your life. There’s no “secret sauce” here. It is back to the basics of saturating your life with the truth that comes only from God’s Word. This is written Word—the Bible—and the Word made flesh, dwelling among us—Jesus Christ.

As you continue to know God better, you build spiritual muscles which results in God-confidence. Then, most likely, God will give you an opportunity to do something that will be too big and too hard for you to do. Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and follow the Lord, even if you are a bit fearful? I find when God calls me to serve in a new way, I’m always in over my head. But he who calls us to a new service gives us what we need. That’s what we call walking by faith not by sight.

What are your gifts and abilities you have not yet used in serving the Lord? Find ways to use them. He didn’t gift you just so you could get a good job and earn more money. He wants to you to serve others.

Never compare yourself to others. You don’t have to do what someone else does or measure up to someone else’s expectations. But you will need to step out on faith and follow God’s leading.

Then you will be confident of this:

…that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

You will be living in God-confidence, and it will be amazing. It will be tiring, yes, and not always easy but always fruitful and satisfying. And the joy of the Lord will be your strength.
