I can still remember lingering through the hallways of high school. Feeling like my whole world was held within the walls of one building. My confidence was fully rooted in that one single place. From my friendships, relationships, school activities, and sports, I could not see myself apart from one place that held so much of my life.
Within this season I also had no relationship with the Lord. I prayed, had a friend who talked with me about Jesus regularly, but I had no foundation set in who He was and what He said about me. Being chosen was in the eyes of how the young men perceived me, being smart was held in the hands of my teachers, leading was found in my level of popularity.
This is what a lot of our girls face today. They put their confidence in the hands of everyone else and forget or do not even know about the confidence they should have in Christ. Not because of all He can do for us but all that He has done out of HIs deep love for us. Women’s confidence in the world is the exact opposite of confidence in Christ, and we as bold believers of the Lord need to fight on the frontlines for the hearts of our younger generations.
Psalm 118:8 reminds us that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. This means our lives should not mirror what the world says. If we know we should not trust the world’s ways, then why are we not safeguarding our younger generations?
