David Cameron said that 'Britons should be more confident about its status as a Christian country' according to the Daily Mail on 16 April 2014. But in what should we as Christians in this 21^st Century have confidence?

David trusted in the Lord and was delivered from his enemies. Even Eli had confidence, despite his and his sons' failings, when he said, "It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good". (1 Sam. 3.18)

The Lord is our confidence as he was back in Old Testament times (Prov. 3.26) . This is still so, in this day and age and we can come before him with confidence as we believe He is the only true God who hears our prayers and answers them. Therefore we can with confidence place ourselves into his hands, knowing that he knows what is best for us.

The scriptures indicate that we should not place our confidence in princes (Psalm 118.9) or other leaders or in our own capabilities (Phil. 3.3-4).

More than just leaving our individual lives as new creatures in his hands, we can leave the world in His hands knowing He is in charge and will ultimately bring the long-promised Kingdom to this earth in due time.
