Confidence Soar...

There is an old saying, ‘losing builds character and winning builds confidence’. We actually need both from time to time to be a well balanced person. Everyone loses at times. And yes when God’s plan is being followed, there is plenty of winning…
“God is my strength, God is my song, God is a fighter, and yes God is my salvation. This is the kind of God I have and I’m telling the world.” ~ Exodus 15:2-3
Right after the Hebrews walked out of the Red Sea, they turned and witnessed the wholesale destruction of their oppressors. They stood there in sober silence for a while, then the joy of their newly won freedom came bursting forth. Moses composed a song and all the people clapped and sang and danced. Then Miriam, Aaron’s sister took over and composed another song. It was a long awaited day of joy for Israel. They had been losing at the hands of the Egyptians for centuries, but on this day they won. On this day they won big! It was at this moment they got the clearest picture of God they’d seen. There was no fear or worry to blur the divine picture. And with that clarity their confidence soared. They saw God as their strength and a fighter on their behalf…and their confidence soared. They saw God as the reason for their song and their joy…and their confidence soared. They saw God as one so great that He needed to be shouted to the world...and their confidence soared. All these years later it’s still true, a clear vision of God makes our CONFIDENCE SOAR. ~Verlon
