Proverbs 3:26 “For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.”
TL;DR: When we drift from God’s will, self-doubt and confusion follow. But when we actively seek Him and accept His forgiveness and renewal, He becomes our unshakable confidence and keeps us from losing our way.
Is the Lord your confidence? For me, He is my confidence when I am actively trying to live my life in His will, accepting His constant forgiveness and renewal moment by moment. That is where my peace and sense of direction come from.
But I so often head off in my own direction. And when I do, my confidence diminishes. I start to second-guess myself and feel like I am spinning in circles. Sound familiar? That restless, uncertain feeling is a good signal that it is time to return to trusting God and stop relying on my own understanding.
The beautiful thing is that finding confidence in God is not a one-time decision. It is a moment-by-moment choice to stay close to Him, to accept His grace, and to let Him guide your next step. When you do that, the second-guessing quiets down. The spinning stops. You are no longer trying to hold everything together on your own, because He is holding it for you.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
That verse is such a practical reminder. Seeking God first is not just a spiritual discipline. It is the foundation for everything else, including how you show up in your health, your relationships, your work, and your daily mindset. When He is first, everything else has a better chance of falling into place.
Today, I plan to let the Lord be my confidence. Letting go of self-doubt and leaning on God is my intention for this day. What about you?
