1 John 5:4-5, For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?Last week we talked about the distress we often find when we succumb to disobedience. This week, we get a glimpse of the confidence we can have in Christ because of the power of God.----------Often, we lack confidence because we lack faith in God. When we fully submit to the plan and purpose God has for us, we can move forward confidently because we understand that we can all through Christ who gives us the strength to do so. And we can do this in spite of past failures or mistakes.----------It is the story woven throughout the book of Judges--God brings deliverance to His people even when they don't deserve it and even in situations that seem otherwise hopeless.
