CONFIDENCE - PART 3So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. Hebrews 10:35
Confidence is contagious! It spreads throughout your sphere of influence. How many giant-killers were in Saul’s army? None! When Goliath challenged the armies of God, they quaked with fear. Yet David, who came to bring food to his brothers, sized up the situation, went out in faith and killed the giant. After David became king, how many other giant-killers arose in Israel? Lots! Listen: '... then Sibbecai... killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued. And there was war with the Philistines again and Elhanan... killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants. When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants' (1 Chronicles 20:4-8 NAS). Now why do you suppose there were no giant-killers in Saul’s army? Because Saul himself wasn’t one! However, under David’s leadership they were numerous, because David was a giant-killer! This illustrates the 'it takes one to make one' principle that runs throughout the Bible! When you develop confidence, those around you - friends, family, associates - will increase their confidence levels too. Why? Because confidence breeds confidence!
Prayer
Heavenly Father – the confidence I have in you – help me be an agent of that confidence to others. Victory in all things comes because of you! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
