Proverbs 3:26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Confidence and security are further conditional promises based on keeping sound wisdom and discretion. Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it so that they will be safe and secure, and confident in the Lord. When we make it a point to receive and keep the Wisdom of God, Jesus, then we can live assured and confident under the Lord’s protection and blessing. Confidence is in knowing God’s word, God’s will, and God’s way, and praying and believing that God’s will shall be done.
We cannot always be absolutely certain that we are in God’s will, but after a certain point in seeking the will of God we stop and rest in the confidence that the path we are on is the will of God. We go forth in that confidence.
