I’ve been thinking abput confidence this morning. Its funny how different things can affect us and different people groups either grow our cofidence or knock it a bit. When I’m with a group of young people or people I know well I can be naturally confident (maybe even a bit bolshy!) but yesterday I had a job interview and couldn’t help feeling terrified. I struggled to make any sense out of what I was saying and mumbled things that afterwards I could have hit myself for. Needless to say the job isn’t mine but it did knock me for a wee while wondering why.
At the end of the day our danger in life is placing confidence and identity in anything other than Christ. It reminds me that I do not need to depend on the opinion of others to have value and must never idolize my reputation but depend completely on God for the source of myself.
“For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.” Psalm 71:5
