BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S CARE

John Albert Hemphill

I once attended a seminar on architecture where there were two very interesting speakers. The first had impressive academic credentials. He was very articulate and presented innovative ideas that he hoped the profession would put into practice. The second speaker may not have been as articulate but spoke from his many years of experience.

There was another difference between the two. The man who gave the second talk spoke with genuine confidence because he had proved the value of the concepts in his own life. To him, these ideas were actually solid things on which he could depend.

Such conviction doesn't come from blind faith. It grows out of experience. The same holds true for building our confidence in God's presence and power.
