In 2 Corinthians 3:4–5, the Apostle Paul offers a perspective-shifting truth: our sufficiency does not come from our own abilities, but from God alone. In a world that constantly asks us to "self-source" our confidence, Scripture invites us to look upward instead of inward.

In this FOUND in Focus devotional, Lorie Hartshorn reflects on her conversation with Lisa Allen about the exhaustion of performance-based living. We are often handed a dozen different "compasses" for our confidence—our productivity, our image, or the approval of others—but these needles are always shifting. Lisa shares how God gently led her away from the pressure of being "enough" and into a deeper, quieter confidence rooted in the finished work of Jesus.

True confidence isn’t something we manufacture; it is something we receive. When we stop striving to prove our competence and start resting in His, we find a fixed point that holds steady even when life feels shaky. Jesus is your Confidence Compass. He is the one who aligns your heart and defines your worth.

Today, you don’t have to hold it all together. You simply have to hold onto Him.
