CONFIDENCE

Proverbs 25:19 (NKJV) 19  Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint. 
      A football team was struggling on the field, one player out meant inexperience had to fill the void, a crucial play at the 9 yard line meant 4 more downs. The ball was snapped and handed to the full back he shifted to the left and had to immediately move to the right, too late he was tackled for a 4 yard loss.
The player who could have gotten the job done, was sidelined because he habitually missed practice for   his alcohol addiction.
     Many feel as if we have been let down, the church has not done its job, like the missing player, sidelined for foolish living. We are admonished, "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:15-16 (NKJV), the days we live in are ripe for the disciple of Christ to witness of His great Mercy. To be a key player you must be a disciple of Jesus Christ do you know that to be true, He walks in the lives of those who really belong to Him!
Heavenly Father we have the blessing of your Presence, may we walk as those who are alive in Jesus Christ, may the world see we are yours. Let the Spirit and Power of the Lord Jesus Christ touch the lives of those around us for your Glory. Amen
