Where Does Confidence Come From?

Daily writing prompt
Who is the most confident person you know?

True confidence — not just puffed-up human pride pretending to be confidence — comes from somewhere far beyond self-effort and self-righteousness. It comes from a heart that knows by direct revelation, the internal objectivity of eternal love.

Do you “know this love that surpasses knowledge”? Are you “filled with the fullness of God”? (Ephesians 3:19) It’s good to be informed about God. It’s much better to “surpass” knowledge and be directly, deeply, and continually impacted by Him. The inner flow of God the Holy Spirit from a persons innermost being isn’t subjectivity. It’s internal objectivity. It’s supernatural reality. Do you “know this love that surpasses knowledge”?

My Body, God’s Choice!

When you want to do
What you want to do
Instead of what God
Wants you to do,
You need to redo
Your to-do list.

To do what God desires
Let your body be the
Temple of God’s Spirit.
Be led by “Christ in you”
Not by your own desires.
(Galatians 5:13-25)

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
