“Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.” (1 Corinthians 10:12, The Message)
Cultivate God-confidence, Paul tells the Corinthians. There is simply no way to do this apart from faith and trust. We cannot cultivate confidence in God by trusting ourselves or waiting for God to tell us why. Confidence in God comes when we trust first and then see him move. This isn't easy, nor is it natural, but then neither is growing a plant.
Cultivation takes effort whether you are growing a garden or growing in God-confidence.
