If I have learned one thing so far this year it is to obey God and His commands. I know that sounds corny and obvious but it never really hit me until the time came where I had to follow through with His requests. Recently I was told by a wise and highly respect mentor (Pastor Jon) that confidence comes AFTER obedience and I seriously thought he had it backwards.... or God made a mistake. Both were very unlikely. Well, the time came to test out this old confidence and obedience thing the other night and man can I tell you it's the absolute truth! I felt a sense of peace and confidence as soon as I fulfilled my mission. Don't ask me why God would want to give you the confidence once you have completed the nearly impossible task. So I guess the moral of the story is to always listen to God no matter what the task (moving, confrontation, standing up, etc.)and in the end you will be so glad that you did. Remember: God never gives you anything you can't handle.
