This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:23-24
Strength and confidence come from many places. Some people are confident because they’re popular, wealthy, or talented. But none of these things is stable enough to be relied upon. We need to always be on guard against false pride. We may feel we’re walking tall with God, but where does that confidence come from? It is because we really know God or because we simply look good to others? In order to walk in courage and humility, we must develop a real relationship with God, not just go through the motions. Any other type of confidence will ultimately fail us. Remember, there’s nothing more important than your personal walk with God.
