Confidence

Some days you just want to stay in your pajamas all day long. Maybe you're not feeling well. Or maybe you're in something more seductive and your husband has the day off.  But most days, you must get up and face the world. What do you wear? The excellent wife clothes herself with strength and honor. She is ready to face the day. She knows where her strength comes from. Her strength comes from the Lord. She is confident as she faces the day because she knows that her Lord has plans for her today. The world may taunt her and try and sow fear in her heart, but her heart belongs to the Lord.

He Trusts In Her

Does your husband trust in you? Does he have confidence in you? Does he know that he can always depend on you? He's worth it.

Does he have all the riches he needs in you or is he looking elsewhere to gain spoil? Give all of yourself to him. Bless him. Let him know you love him and you are all he needs. 

I want to be that kind of woman that he knows the rich treasure he has in me and trusts in me and doesn't have to look elsewhere.  He's worth it to me.

Being Confident

What are you confident in? Are you confident that you can provide for yourself? Are you confident that you will live a long life, a full life, a healthy life? Are you confident that you will always love your husband and he will always love you? What is your confidence based on?

Paul reminds us here that we can have confident expectation of eternal life. Why? Because we are heirs. It is something that belongs to us because it is being given to us. It is not being given to us because we've earned it, but because we've been justified by God's grace. Jesus' death on the cross made the way for us to be justified, to become heirs, to be confidence.

Having confidence in ourselves is wonderful but at times it can be unfounded. Having confidence in Jesus' finished work on the cross is wonderful and unshakeable. What are you confident in?
