GOAL ATTAINMENT
CONFIDENCE-PART 2 OF 5
INTRODUCTION:
THIS STUDY ADDRESSES CONFIDENCE AS IT APPLIES TO GOAL ATTAINMENT.
SPIRITUAL INSIGHT:
READ PHILIPPIANS 3:14. PAUL EXPRESSED HIS GOAL ATTAINMENT IN THIS VERSE.
TRUE TRUST (PLACING YOU CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD)
READ PSALMS 118:8 -9 AND 20:7 (NASB)
GOAL ATTAINMENT MEANS YOU CONFIDENTLY TRUST IN GOD ALONE. BY TRUSTING IN GOD ALONE, YOU PROCLAIM THAT GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE! YOUR CONFIDENCE IS NOT MISPLACED. WHAT BETTER ADVOCATE THAN GOD HIMSELF!
FALSE TRUST (PLACING YOUR CONFIDENCE IN MAN)
JEREMIAH 17:5 THUS SAYS THE LORD, “CURSED (IS) THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN MAN AND MAKES FLESH HIS STRENGTH. WHOSE HEART DEPARTS FROM THE LORD.” (NKJV)
JEREMIAH 49:4 YOU ARE PROUD OF YOUR FERTILE VALLEYS, BUT THEY WILL SOON BE RUINED. YOU TRUSTED IN YOUR WEALTH, YOU REBELLIOUS DAUGHTER, AND THOUGHT NO ONE COULD EVER HARM YOU. (NLT)
AMOS 5:1 WHAT SORROW AWAITS YOU WHO LOUNGE IN LUXURY IN JERUSALEM, AND YOU FEEL SECURE IN SAMARIA! YOU ARE FAMOUS AND POPULAR IN ISRAEL, AND PEOPLE GO TO YOU FOR HELP. (NLT)
AN UN-CONDEMNED HEART PRODUCES LIVELY FAITH AND CONFIDENCE!
APPLICATION: GOAL ATTAINMENT DEPENDS UPON YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD
