Whenever we think and/or believe we are able to do anything with excellence – be aware, watch out – a fall is coming.  Many times we are tripped up by our own arrogance.

As followers of Christ we are to be dependent on the living God – He alone is competent and He is sufficient to meet our needs.

God will confirm His competence and sufficiency in our lives as we put our confidence in Him.

(NASB) 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 “Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.
5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

Humility considers yieldedness to God first.  True competence and confidence comes from God and our sufficiency is different from the world’s understanding.  God is enough ~ He is all we need.

(NASB) 2 Corinthians 3:4 “Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.”

My confidence is in the sufficiency of God Almighty.  He is the living, ever present, eternal God of the Holy Bible.

My God is with me this day and will supply all I need.

He is competent!

He is sufficient!

He is my confidence!
