Today’s Bible Reading: Job 12 – 14
THE SILENT CONFIDENCE OF THE WARRIOR
Job 3:25-26(AMP); For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, and that of which I am afraid befalls me. I was not or am not at ease, nor had I or have I rest, nor was I or am I quiet, yet trouble came and still comes [upon me].
There are people in this life who are skilled in the art of discussing their problems. They jump from one sympathizer to the next airing their grievances with no sense of discrimination whatsoever. That is not the path of the wise.
This does not mean you should not have confidants. It is a good thing to have people you confide in but you cannot be the kind of person who confides in everyone and who hops from place to place discussing your pain, your fears or your failures.
That sort of habit is a real recipe for trouble to befall you. Job, in our theme scripture testifies to this. He says, ” I was not or am not at ease, nor had I or have I rest, nor was I or am I quiet, yet trouble came and still comes [upon me].” He was never quiet about his fears and spoke about them needlessly.
When you give trouble too much attention, you attract it into your life.
There are demons that thrive on attention. The more you speak about an issue, the worse it becomes. You must learn to ignore the enemy.
Paul tells Timothy, “endure hardship like a good soldier.” (2 Timothy 2:3).
Part of the strength of a great warrior is the fortitude demonstrated by silence: you don’t have to announce your pain to the whole world.
Walk in the quiet confidence of a true warrior.

🙌PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I embrace this knowledge as a true warrior for the kingdom. Because I carry inner strength, I live quiet and confident from the fear of evil. My lips are for praise and grace and never give the enemy attention. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
