My little addition to Our Daily Bread (8/26/12):
Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Romans 5:1 HCSB)
I chose to label today’s because the very word confidence (at least according to wiktionary.org) stems from the Latin con + fidere or “with” + “trust/reliance.” Having been confronted the past couple days with my own missing the mark (such as the “Daily” in my title) and with God’s omnipresence, I needed this reminder as to why I should find comfort in the closeness of a holy God. I need not continue in worry that I missed the mark, but I can walk in peace because my righteousness is not dependant upon my perfection (PRAISE THE LORD!) but is a declaration of the Almighty God of the universe because of my faith in and the perfect work of Jesus Christ.
