I live with confidence…
not because I am big and strong…
not because I am educated and wise…
not because I have years of experience…
not because I am brave and courageous…
not because I have weapons and an army…
not because I have a quick and good mind …
not because I have money to solve my problems…
not because I have planned so well for the future…
not because I am cautious and don’t make mistakes…
not because I am well spoken and can talk my way out of trouble…
I live with confidence because God tells me I can.
“And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.”
1 Corinthians 2:1-4
