In chapter 32 of 2 Chronicles Sennacherib is threatening Jerusalem and in a message to king Hezekiah he is writing: “On what are you basing your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?”

King Hezekiah is basing his confidence of course on the Lord his God!

On what are you basing your confidence?

“Take a journey with confidence from…” That is the headline of a car advertisement. In smaller letters we are told about the safety rating and that our family will be safe and sound on the next journey. We are encouraged to get behind the wheel today, get on the road today and start our journey…….. with confidence.

I have started my journey with confidence long ago!

I can say with the Psalmist:

“For you have been my hope, O  Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.” – Psalm 71:5

Proverbs 3:26; Proverbs 3:32
