Faith = Confidence.

Have you ever felt doing something that you can't do

then you turn to somebody who knows you better and he say's confidently,

"I know you can nail that, i know you, right?"

and you just feel like you can cos his confident and pretty sure that it makes you feel like,

"argh! I can't but since you say it, i can't help but agree.."

Ever felt like that sudden Faith or confidence of somebody gave you that boost?

I bet (with no money) that this was actually one of Paul's experience,

he felt like "God i cant, i mean look at me, walk in asia? in Corinth, etc"

It was pretty hard and easy in a way for Paul.

Hard in a way when he starts looking in what he is, who he is, what he has..

and Easy in a way that he knows God is backing him up when his being told to do something.

Well this is just based on my observation.

Since he said in 2 Timothy 2:13

"when we are faithless, He is always faithfull because He cannot deny Himself."

If you look at it, Paul was giving an advice to timothy based on experience..

though he was a super disciple (if i can use that term)

He was still human, there were hard times,doubts, faithless moments and the likes..

but God likes to say to his son's

"you can, I will, so go! "

How about you that? Ever felt like doubting, tempted to give up,

looking at yourself's disadvantage,

and ever felt that God is confident that he get you through it?

I dont know about you, but i do.

Since He is confident and faithfull, why not take that step of faith? :)
