TOPIC: OVERCOMING INSECURITY 2

SCRIPTURE: ‘God can pour on the blessings…so that you’re ready for anything and everything.’ – 2 Corinthians 9:8 MSG

Insecurity destroys our self-esteem by making us feel unqualified and undeserving. It can make us feel afraid to let anyone know we’re less than perfect, so we resist being taught and take offence at honest criticism. The advice and constructive criticism that we need in order to grow become the last things we’re willing to accept. And if we don’t allow growth to take place, we’ll find it difficult to face increasing challenges and we won’t be empowered to seize opportunities that come our way.

Deep down, we may feel incompetent, unaccepted, disapproved of, and rejected. If our sense of well-being and confidence comes from any source (and that includes ourselves) other than God, it’s very likely that we’ll always struggle with insecurity. That’s why Paul wrote: ‘God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done.’

Another translation puts it this way: ‘God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work’ (NIV). As long as we’re trusting in ourselves or in others, we’ll struggle with uncertainty and self-doubt. But the moment we start trusting in God and what He can do in us, with us, through us, and for us, we begin to feel differently about ourselves.

As we spend more time with Him and learn to see ourselves through His eyes, His approval and love will fill our hearts, and we’ll be able to confidently say, ‘Lord, everything I need to succeed in life I have in you!’

What Now?

Make an honest assessment of where you draw your confidence from. If God is low down on your list of sources, ask Him to help you trust Him and His opinion more and more each day until He’s at the top of your list.

BIBLE READING: Ezekiel 27-29, James 3
