Our confidence should be in Christ Jesus, not in our own abilities.
Jesus Christ working in us and through us is of great value. Our confidence should be in Him and Him alone.
We can have confidence that Jesus in us the hope of glory is working through us.
Hebrews 10:35-36
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
Our own abilities are our own tendencies to perform. We should be waiting on the Lord, before we attempt anything.
His way will produce lasting fruit. Not fruit that falls to the ground and rots. (Self-effort)
We do have abilities and we can do certain things, but they are not of eternal value apart from the Lord.
Our human attempts are well meaning, but, when God the Holy Spirit moves on us to do the work of the Lord, we see lasting fruit.
John 15:14- 17
"You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father, in My name He may give you, these things I command you, that you love one another.
We run out of natural strength, but we can draw on the strength in the Lord. Our earthly wisdom is nothing compared to the wisdom coming from the Holy Spirit in you. Use the wisdom of God, not your own reasoning.
Yes, God gave us a mind to use, but He wants that mind to be renewed in His word so that our thoughts will become pure and righteous, and holy.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of a good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate ( think, ponder) on these things.
Our mind is where the enemy tries to deceive us and confuse us, and lead down a path that is not of God.
So renew your mind in the word of God and you will be transformed to be more and more like Jesus Christ our Lord, and whatever comes out of your mouth will be from God. Edifying, and a good word to bring hope and healing.
Make sure your confidence is in the Lord. Trust Him, He loves you and has the best planned for you.
That means putting your trust and reliance and assurance in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Apart from the Lord, we really can do nothing of value.
God Bless you day
Jesus loves you
Love in Jesus
Joy
