Confidence In The Lord

There are a lot of places we’re told to put our confidence in. For instance, we’re told to put confidence in the stock market for our retirement. We’re told to have confidence in our leaders to make things better. We’re also told to have confidence in ourselves. However, people and their systems fail. That’s why over and over in the Bible we’re told to put our confidence in the Lord. He never fails. When I was a kid, I used to hear people say, “Let go and let God.” To have confidence in something requires action on our part like putting retirement money in stocks, voting for someone or letting go. If you’re just saying it but not doing it, you don’t really have confidence in it. Where is your conference based on your actions? It’s time to put your confidence in the Lord.

Here are some Bible verses on putting confidence in the Lord.

1. The Lord is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield; My heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him.

Psalms 28:7 AMP

2. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand]. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”

Psalms 91:1-2 AMP

3. Fear and intimidation is a trap that holds you back. But when you place your confidence in the Lord, you will be seated in the high place.

Proverbs 29:25 TPT

4. You will not be subject to terror, for it will not terrify you. Nor will the disrespectful be able to push you aside, because God is your confidence in times of crisis, keeping your heart at rest in every situation.

Proverbs 3:25-26 TPT

5. But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

Jeremiah 17:7 NLT
