“Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36 (NASB)
Yesterday we considered the confidence we have in the goodness of God. Today we look at the importance of that confidence and how we need to nurture it and not discard it. Confidence is something we can lose if we do not sustain our faith in what we believe. We have been told that we live by faith. We become children of God by trusting in what Jesus did for us when He died on the cross. We keep on living by faith by trusting that God will take care of all our needs from day to day. The confidence spoken about in this verse is the same as our faith. Our faith builds our confidence and encourages us to keep trusting in God. God has promised a great reward for those who keep trusting in Him. Jesus wants us to do just that and He knows when we maintain our confidence in Him and in what He has promised. That is the way that we receive what God has promised. Let's keep trusting Him today and every day, don't let anything cause you to throw your confidence away or discard it for any reason. Endure in confidence always.
