How to Be More Confident in God

How the Bible Builds Confidence in God

Every story in the Bible is there for a reason. You will be more confident in God when you reread the accounts of how he stood by his saints in times of need.

God miraculously provided a son for Abraham. He raised Joseph from a slave to prime minister of Egypt. God took the stuttering, faltering Moses and made him the mighty leader of the Jewish nation. When Joshua had to conquer Canaan, God performed miracles to help him do it. God changed ​Gideon from a coward to a bold warrior, and he gave a son to the barren Hannah.

Jesus Christ’s apostles went from trembling fugitives to fearless preachers once they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus converted Paul from a persecutor of Christians to one of the greatest missionaries of all time.

In every case, these characters were everyday people who proved what trust in God can do. Today they seem bigger than life, but their successes were entirely due to the grace of God. That grace is available to every Christian.
