Some of us work to establish ourselves in life. We may want to build a home for our families, establish our credibility or work ethic at work, or make an impact on the world around us. When we are trying to become established, we can take the advice of Joshua Lederberg when he said, "If it takes you 20 or 25 years to establish yourself in one field, you really ought to be careful not to stray too far."
No matter what area of life we want to "established" in, we need to start with a good foundation, which is God! We cannot build our lives by ourselves. We need the support of God. It is through God that we can have confidence. God calls us to build our lives on His Word and the Spirit He gives us. He also calls us to share this Good News and to help others experience Him. It is only through the Spirit of God that we can be established and follow God's calling.
Follow God and find the confidence to establish your life in Him and then respond to His call to share the Good News!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the confidence that only You can give. Help me to be established in You and to share Your Good News. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
