The Confidence to Trust - Part 1

Why is it so hard to make changes, even simple changes? Trying something new, venturing into the unknown can appear risky. Do you see yourself as a risk-taker, or do you generally stay with what is comfortable for you? Choices made growing up are often basic to feeling confidence and are linked to healthy risk-taking.

The sad part about some choices is that they become barriers to enjoying a more productive life. God didn’t intend for his people to be locked in a system that disallows growth and change. He designed us to have dreams about a good, productive future. There are risks in choosing to change, but remaining where you are can be a greater risk.

While David was far from perfect, his faith in God is seen in 2 Samuel 22. “The Lord is my rock, my protection and my Savior. He broadens the path beneath my feet, and I have never fallen.” Confidence for choosing to change begins with trust in Christ Jesus as your Savior. He empowers you to begin the journey for change.
