Self-hatred is a hard feeling to face
One of the most amazing things about having a relationship with God is he frees us up to be ourselves
Join Russ as he discusses with friend AT Arneson about the importance of resting in God alone.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
Jesus's confidence was in God, so when people were fickle he remained faithful, which is why I think so many people found him attractive. We must read the scriptures with greater intensity to learn this confidence, so we continue to keep the dream of Jesus alive and build his kingdom, regardless of whether we are many or few, important or irrelevant, succeeding or failing, being criticized or praised.
“Deep Strength” is learning how to walk with God in such a way that we are strong from the inside out.
No matter how great our talent or resources, insecurity ignored will undermine us all.
