Description
False confidence can feel comforting, but it quietly pulls our trust away from God and onto wishful thinking. We contrast easy answers with real faith by looking at Jeremiah’s warning and Peter’s rescue on the water.
• Jeremiah and Hananiah as a test of which voice we trust
• Comforting messages that sound loving but evade truth
• Why God speaks like a good doctor and parent
• Peter’s shift from self-confidence to reliance on Christ
• Saints who know their weakness and trust Jesus more
• “Lord save me” as a simple prayer in real storms
• A closing examen on what we place our confidence in
So today ask yourself, where is my confidence?
