Faith-filled confidence

Today, in my chronological reading through the Bible, I have started another challenging book of prophecy - the book the the prophet Daniel.  And once again, I have seen how much I can glean for my own personal, 21st century life.

As I read through the events of Daniel’s life in the first three chapters of the book, one characteristic of Daniel and his three friends stands out to me – 

       their CONFIDENCE.

As a new captive/recruit in chapter one, Daniel was CONFIDENT of the results the chief of the eunuchs would see in the young men if they ate only vegetables. 

And he was proven correct. 

Then, in chapter two, Daniel was CONFIDENT of his ability to learn the king’s dream and its interpretation. 

And he was proven correct. 

In chapter three, Daniel’s three friends were CONFIDENT of God’s ability to save their lives if thrown into the fiery furnace. They were confident in their faith in God. 

And they were proven correct. 

True faith breeds confidence that is above the norm. 

I want that kind of confidence for facing the challenges in my own life. 

Faith-filled confidence.
