THE CURSE OF SELF-CONFIDENCE





Whenever King David considered fight or flight, he consulted the Lord. He understood that victory is of the Lord - every victory.

However, we tend to be too confident in ourselves - in our strengths, abilities, and even in our understanding. In this, we demonstrate an unbiblical self-confidence. Paul even warned us against this:

  • Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (1 Corinthians 10:12; ASV)

I still battle against such confidence. The Lord has shown me that the more confident I am in self, the less in God and the less I will pray.
