- Prov. 3:25-26 "Be not
afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For
the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken."
- Ps. 118:7-9 "The
LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon
them that hate me. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes."
- Prov. 14:26 "In the
fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place
of refuge."
- 2 Sam. 22:33 "God is
my strength and power: and He maketh my way perfect."
- Ps. 91:2 "I will say
of the LORD, He is my Refuge and my Fortress: my God; in Him will I
trust."
- Ps. 91:14 "Because
he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him
on high, because he hath known My Name."
- Eph. 3:11-12 "According
to the Eternal Purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our LORD: in Whom
we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him."
- Phil. 3:3 "worship
God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the
flesh."
-
- Heb. 3:6 "But Christ
as a Son over His own house; Whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence
and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."
- Heb. 3:14 "For we are
made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast
unto the end"
-
- Heb. 10:35 "Cast not
away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of Reward."
- 1 John 2:28 "And now,
little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence,
and not be ashamed before Him at His coming."
- 1 John 3:21 "Beloved,
if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."
- 1 John 5:14 "And this
is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according
to His will, He heareth us."
"Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises:
that by These ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience Godliness;
And to Godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound,
They make you that ye shall neither be barren nor
unfruitful
in the Knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1:4-8
Confidence Not Misplaced
"The LORD God will help me"
(Isaiah 50:7).
"These are in prophecy the words of Messiah in
the day of His obedience unto death, when He gave His back to the smiters and His
cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. He was confident in divine support and
trusted in Jehovah.
O my soul, thy sorrows are as the small dust of the balance compared with thy LORD's!
Canst thou not believe that the LORD God will help thee? Thy LORD was in a peculiar
position; for as the representative of sinful men -- their substitute and sacrifice
-- it was needful that the Father should leave Him and cause Him to come under desertion
of soul. No such necessity is laid upon thee: thou art not bound to cry, 'Why hast thou forsaken me?' Did thy
Savior even in such a case still rely upon God, and canst not thou? He died for thee
and thus made it impossible that thou shouldst be left alone; wherefore, be of good
cheer.
In this day's labors or trials say, 'The LORD God will
help me.' Go forth boldly. Set your face like a flint
and resolve that no faintness or shamefacedness shall come near you. If God helps,
who can hinder? If you are sure of omnipotent aid, what can be too heavy for you?
Begin the day joyously, and let no shade of doubt come between thee and the eternal
sunshine."
