BELIEVE IN YOURSELF; GOD DOES
"You...made me bold with strength in my soul." Psalm 138:3 NKJV
A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted out of his house and into the backyard carrying a baseball bat and a ball. He tipped his baseball cap in a salute to his eager puppy. Then he picked up the bat and ball and announced with a loud voice,
"I'm the greatest hitter in the world." He then proceeded to toss the ball in the air, swing at it, and miss. "Strike one!" he cried, as if he were also playing the role of the umpire. He picked up the ball, threw it into the air, and said again, "I'm the greatest baseball hitter ever!" And again he swung at the ball and missed. "Strike two!" he announced to his dog who was watching. Undaunted, he picked up the ball, examined his bat, and then just before tossing the ball into the air, announced once again, "I'm the greatest hitter who ever lived." He swung the bat hard but missed for the third time. "Strike three!" he cried. And then he added, "Wow, what a pitcher! I'm the greatest pitcher in the world!" Today that is what we would call a P.M.A.: Positive Mental Attitude. And when you know that God has redeemed you, equipped you, and called you to serve Him, it's the attitude you should have too. Because God loves you, accepts you, and believes in you, you should believe in yourself. David said, "In the day when I cried out, You answered me and made me bold with strength in my soul" (NKJV). So the word for you today is this: Believe in yourself; God does.
