You grow on purpose
Define confidence
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” Helen Keller
“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” Norman Vincent Peale author of The Power of Positive Thinking

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'” Eleanor Roosevelt
As good as these are, you have to do something to get something. The difference in confidence in God but yes is that when you are gosh did you just are. Because of what you are you demonstrate the characteristics that others try to get by being confident.
You’ll never have confidence if you don’t know why you are to be confident.
You’ll never be “Godfydent” if you don’t know the ‘Who’ you can be confident in!

1-Nothing is Mine

Psalm 24:1 NKJV
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
Ownership hasn’t changed. The only thing that’s changed is stewardship.
Ill: You own a piece of real estate. You vet the tenants, but they don’t take care of your property. Another layer - you have manager that checks up on it because the property is in a different city and state. He permits and even joins in on the un-welcomed lifestyle.They’re living there but you own. You can evict them whenever you get ready.
1 Corinthians 10:26 NKJV
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”
2 cor 10.26
as long as I remember and operate from my place of authoirty, all I have to do is call in a work order.
People like to rent cause whenever anything goes out, unlike a home owner, the landlord has to fix it!
app: Daddy you’ve got some bills to pay - God’s will God’s bill!!!
2 cor 10.26

2-I Don’t Have to Do the Heavy Lifting

Noah had to build it
Israelites had to clear but God was going to drive out their enemies from in front of them
They had to walk across Red Sea - God had to wall up the water
Walk around Jericho - God had to cause the walls to fall down
Peter Had to walk on the water - Jesus had to congeal the water
Notice, I didn’t say you don’t have to do ANY lifting!

3-I Can Never Be Too Weak

2 Corinthians 12:8–12 NKJV
8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 11 I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
