Confidence for Tomorrow

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:19-25

Confidence is an interesting thing. As a child I found confidence in the hands of my parents. As long as they were near, or they held my hand, I could do anything, go anywhere. As an adult Christ gives me a new kind of confidence, both through his blood, to enter into the presence of God, and through the fellowship of believers, who can encourage and stir up each other for love and good works. Coming together as the body of Christ is important to our growth and confidence for tomorrow. Without the fellowship to hold us accountable for our dreams, our visions, and our promises we might not ever achieve much. As the body of Christ we have tremendous power to cheer, lift up, and motivate one another to greater things. What we say, what we see, how we interact all bears witness to the depth of our relationship with God. Since we have passed through the curtain into the living presence of God, by the blood of Christ we have no more need of fear and no possibility of failure. Christ has made us clean, washed us pure, and given us hope. In him we find confidence for tomorrow and help for today.
Prayer: God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; God of Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel, we trust in your steadfast love forever. From generation to generation you have been faithful, even when we have wandered away from your truth. Provoke us to deeper obedience; stir the fire of our spirit to find confidence in your grace. For you are the glory of our strength, the shield of our faith, and our hope for tomorrow. Amen.
