Finding Confidence In A World Full Of Scandals And Bad News

How do we find confidence in a world full of scandals and bad news?

First, we need to take our eyes off the world and focus them on God. The world says we have to be beautiful and successful to be worthy, but God says we are worthy because He created us and He loves us. The world makes a big deal out of scandals and bad news. But God takes what Satan meant for bad and uses it for our good. God has given us the good news of Jesus Christ through the scandal of the cross.

Second, we can resolve to put our confidence in Christ, because He is trustworthy. His word says all the promises of God are "yes" in Christ Jesus. We can take our request to God, knowing that He hears us and approves them because of Jesus Christ. What freedom there is in that!

My God is a big God. Unfathomable. Incomparable. Frankly, words just don't do Him justice. And He made YOU....You were knit together by a one-of-a-kind, amazing God who is absolutely, undeniably, head-over-heels crazy-in-love with you. You are a child of God...What more confidence do you need than that!

Blessings,
Dalinda
