Proverbs 3: 5 – 6 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. (6) In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. (Amplified Classic)

Psalm 31: 1a In You O Lord do I put my trust and seek refuge. (Amplified Classic)

Confidence must be developed.  We must develop confidence in God and His Word before the problem or issue comes. We need to practice our trust and confidence in God and His Word every day in every circumstance and situation of life.  Not just when problems are present.  If we wait till the problem arrives, we will have a difficult time developing our confidence.

If we really had the confidence and trust in God and His Word that we say we have, we would respond differently to the problems and circumstances of life.  If I really do have confidence in God and His Word, I will trust Him in every area of my life.

David knew where to place his confidence.  It was a habitual lifestyle for David. You find him constantly declaring his confidence in God and His Word.  Do you?

Like David many of us have had some trouble in our lives but let’s take a look at how David handled the troubles and problems that he faced in life.  We should be responding in the same way. 

Psalm 56: 3 What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You. (Amplified Classic) 

Psalm 31: 14 – 15  But I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God. (15) My times are in Your hands; (Amplified Classic)

Psalm 25: 1 – 2a Unto You O Lord do I bring my life.  O my God I Trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in you. (Amplified Classic) 

Psalm 31: 5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness. (Amplified Classic)

1) God IS Love, 1st John 4: 8 & 16

2) We are Love Creatures, 1st John 4: 7; 1st John 4: 13 – 16; 1st John 4: 17…As He Is so are we in this world.

3) Love is the point of origin,

4) Love is the power source,

5) Love never fails, fades out, or comes to an end, 1st Corinthians 13: 7 – 8 (Amplified Classic Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. 8. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].

6) Love is the perfect bound of unity John 17: 21 – 23; 1st John 4: 17

7) Love is the only way that truly we can keep ourselves. 1st John 5: 18 (KJV) He that keeps himself that wicked one touches him not.

8) Perfect Love cast out fear 1st John 4: 18 (NKJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

9) All of the issues of life flow from the heart or from Love Proverbs 4:23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

10) Faith works by Love.  As we study, mediate on, and act on the Living Word of God it develops and builds up our Faith which works by Love.  Galatians 5: 6 (Amplified Classic) For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.

1st Corinthians 13: 7 – 8 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (8) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. (Amplified Classic)

Romans 5:5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. (Amplified Classic)

Romans 8: 31 – 39 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] (32) He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things? (33) Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?] (34) Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us? (35) Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? (36) Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. (37) Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. (38) For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, (39) Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Amplified Classic)

1st John 4: 4 Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. (Amplified Classic)
