David and Goliath

We have confidence in God’s faithfulness. He is not like shifting shadows, but consistent and faithful. We follow the teachings of Jesus and forgive when we don’t want to, or love when it’s our enemy because we are confident in the work God is doing. Our confidence is in His work, not our own. We have faith God has a plan and is moving in ways we cannot see. We have faith God knows how life is meant to be lived. We stop trying to decide what is good and bad. Instead, we put our faith in God allowing Him to direct our paths in good and bad. This includes humility, putting others first, finding value in everyone and loving our worst enemy. Our part of the contract is to love as Christ loved and fulfill our responsibilities producing fruit, leading to spiritual maturity.
