Are You Moving Forward In Life Based On Your Confidence Level In Yourself or Your Confidence Level In God?

Stopping and standing still is not causing you to get to the place that you need to be in God.   God wants us to move forward. He wants us to allow Him to lead us into the place that He has designated for our lives.    So often in life when fear comes, we stop, stand still, give up, or quit and none of those are of God.   We have to understand that our stagnation comes from fear.    It's time to move from the place of fear to a place of faith.    Faith comes when we trust and believe God.  

It is time we begin to look at the root of our actions.    What is causing us to do what we do?  What is causing us to stand still and to move forward?   Every step that we take requires confidence.   When a baby learns to walk, he takes steps according to his confidence level.   The same is true with us as adults.   We move forward in our lives based on our level of confidence.   The thing we must understand is, our confidence cannot be in self.   Our confidence must be in God.    If our confidence is in ourselves, when we fall, we may not ever pursue the same task again.   However, if our confidence is in God, we will pursue whatever He is telling us to do based on the fact that we understand that although we are moving towards a goal, it is entirely up to God to bring it to pass in our lives.
