IGNITE YOUR DAY: Walking in Confidence through Christ 

Key Text: Proverbs 3:26 This week, we are exploring Victorious Living, and today—Day 3—we are looking at Walking in Confidence Through Christ.

Scripture of the Day Our guiding Scripture comes from Proverbs 3:26: "For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught."

Where Does Confidence Come From? In today's world, many people struggle with self-doubt, fear, and insecurity. Some try to build confidence on personal achievements, wealth, appearance, or status. Yet, even with these, they often find themselves unfulfilled.

True confidence in life cannot be found in these temporary things—it must be rooted in Christ.

The Power of Confidence in Christ Confidence is important because it is closely tied to faith. When you truly believe that if God is for you, who can be against you, you live with assurance and boldness.

Think of a child who feels safe because they trust their parents. In the same way, our confidence should come from trusting in God's power. Without it, we fall into fear, self-doubt, and the need for external validation.

When our confidence is in Christ, we walk boldly, knowing that:

God is our strength (Philippians 4:13). We are a chosen people, God’s possession (1 Peter 2:9). God has a plan to prosper us and give us a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Are You Walking in Confidence? Where do you place your confidence today? Is it in your job? Your spouse? Your abilities? Your physical appearance?

1. Confidence Comes from Knowing Who You Are in Christ Romans 8:37 reminds us: "In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Our identity is not found in what we do, but in whom we belong to—Jesus Christ.

Confidence is not arrogance. It is standing firm in God’s promises, knowing that nothing can harm you when you are rooted in Him.

2. Confidence Comes from Trusting in God’s Power, Not Your Own 2 Corinthians 3:5 says: "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God."

When Moses doubted himself (Exodus 4:10-12), God reminded him that it was not about his ability, but about God’s power working through him.

David, just a shepherd boy, confidently defeated Goliath—not by his own strength, but because he trusted in God (1 Samuel 17:45-47).

Final Reflection The enemy wants you to believe that you are not enough, but God says: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)

So today, I ask you: Where is your confidence?

Place it in Christ, and you will walk in daily victory.
