CONFIDENCE IN CHRIST: More Or Less?!?!

To See Them
You Would Never Believe That They Were Related!

They Were Polar Opposites:

Fat And Thin
Light And Dark
Faithful And Doubtful
Single-Minded And Double-Minded
Anchored And Tempest-Tossed

Weak And Strong
Wise And Foolish

I Could Go On
BUT
What Would Be The Point?!
Do You Catch My Drift?!

Farmore And Farless
- The Confidence Brothers By Name -
On This Very Day
Are Facing The Temptations
- Fierce And Strong -
AND
One Of Those Confidence Boys Is Going To Yield
And Fall ... Into Sin!

Farless Has Far More Confidence In Man
Than Real Wisdom Says He Should
BUT
Farmore Has Reposed His Confidence In The Living God
Which Leaves Him With
Far Less Confidence In Fallen Man!

It Was Upon The Rock That He Stood!

Enter The Dragon ... Spawn:

Pretty Doubtful Daisy And Handsome Dastardly Dan
Ain't At All Pleased
BECAUSE
As Commission Agents For
Beelzebub Deceives
Every Pidgeon Client Counts!

Pretty Daisy And Handsome Dan

Are Hawks
And Buzzards
Depending Upon Time
And Season's Circumstance
AND
They Ain't Got No Kinda Shame!

They Always, Always, Say:

"Commission Is Commission!"

AND

"A Meal Is Always Food!"

Truth - By Me - Must Be Told ...

Farless Was Always Fearful
AND
He Lacked Confidence In God
So Doubting Daisy
Had The Artist Susie Scam Run And Board Him
AND
Wouldn't You Know It
She Scored A Big Hit!

The Note In Her Log Book Clearly Stated:

Farless Confidence:- 

• Easy Pickings! 
• Piece O' Cake!!! 💥💥

BUT, BUT, BUT ...

As Regards Farmore
Who Has Loving Confidence
In The Eternal God
Doubting Daisy Has Written An Epistle:

WONDER OF WONDERS!!!!

The Goose Refuses To Be Picked!

Farmore Confidence

Is A Faithful Praying 

Believing  Loving

Trusting Obeying

Worshiping 

Standing-Up-For-Jesus 

I-Shall-Not-Be-Moved-Saint! 

At Signs Of Trouble

He Neither Trembles Nor Faints! 

He Knows Who His God Is

AND

He Walks In His Unveiled Truth

AND

He Lives Under His Bright Light

AND 

I Am At A Loss

As To How

His Life

I May Successfully Benight!

A Tough Nut To Crack!

I Honest To Goodness Hate

These Tough-Nut Christians!

Even Dastardly Dan
Had Taken A Few Pot-Shots At Farmore
BUT
At The Game Tally
Dastardly Dan Had The Low Score:

He Had Sent Tentacled Tar Balls
Tawdry Temptations
Terrible Troubles
AND
Tasty Treats
BUT
Farmore Had Gained More Confidence
AND
He
- Through Living Faith In The Holy Jesus -
Was Still Standing Strong
On Firmly Planted Feet!

Dastardly Dan Had Also Written A Note In His Log Book:

It's Time From Farmore Confidence

To Beat A "Hasty" Retreat!!! 

Not Giving Up!

Not Lying Down! 

No Crying Sounds!

He Truly Trusts GOD ALMIGHTY!

What A Clown ... Strong!!!

I Really, Really, Reallllllly Hate Him!!!

Brethren,

Take A Page Out Of Farmore Confidence's Book!

If You Lack Wisdom

Ask Of God Who Gives To All Men
Liberally!
He Will Not Slap You Down For Asking!

When In Doubt
Pray
AND
Walk On ... In Faith!

Lift Up Your Head
AND
Shout To The Hills:

All Of My Help

Comes From The Lord!

The Lord Is My Shepherd!

No Lack Shall I Know!

My Faith Has A Resting Place

AND

In God's Green Pasture I Safely Grow!

My Love Has No License!

In Jesus Christ

It Does Safely Repose

AND

Though Living Life By Jesus' Faith

In Man's Eyes May Damn Me

In God's Love And Grace 

In His Likeness I Grow

As I Am Fed By His Hand

AND

Get To Know Him

More And More!

God's Grace Is Sufficient!
God's Love Is Enough!
God's Mercy Is Available
AND
Satan Sin
Death And Hell
Will Soon Be Forever Snuffed!

The Man Woman
Boy Girl Child
Who Stands Up
With By And For Jesus Christ
Will Never Lie Down With Satan!!

What's YOUR Position?! 

What Does It Daily Cost?! 

Will It Eternally Pay?!
