I have Confidence in GOD,GOD has confidence in Me

I am overwhelmed by the thought that God has confidence in me. God believes in me! He permits me, even positions me to influence (lead) others. Reflecting on who I am, all my imperfections and frailties, I can do nothing else but pray for strength and humbly thank God for even thinking about me.

I am a leader in my home first and foremost, which means he has entrusted me with the privilege & responsibility of leading my wife. He has done this, knowing all He knows about me. If I complain about a kink in my armour, He asks, who makes all things? If I say I am weak, His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

How can I respond to such treatment, I respond by giving thanks. Gratefulness is often a lost art in our day of ultra-speed-living-eating, we don't stop to reflect enough and so we often don't express enough thanks to all the people who matter to us.

At the end of it all, I may never understand a number of the things GOD DOES, but I can confidently  trust WHO GOD IS (even if I am a figure-out-er at heart). This attitude is often the difference between: faith and frustration, confusion and clarity, growth and stagnation and between fruitfulness and busyness.

So today, I pause to say thanks to the LORD for trusting me to be and to do what counts. Thank you Jesus!
