Confidence

The soldier’s first article of faith is summed up nowhere more eloquently than in an 1865 letter from William Tecumseh Sherman to U.S. Grant: “I knew wherever I was that you thought of me, and if I got in a tight place, you would come–if alive.”

You can tackle huge projects and overcome tremendous challenges if you are confident others have your back. Let me quote a divine and human source of such confidence because of the support of others.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 

And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 

Philippians 1:6 

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Life is a challenge and the opposition is good at throwing curveballs, but we must have confidence in the help of others.

Give it some thought and fight on.
