[Dr. Eckleburg]

"There is nothing that we have that we have not been given by God."

Amen. Scripture points this out over and over.

And once that realization takes hold, life is much clearer, surer, energetic and confident. Our lives becomes solidly anchored by a confidence which Christ wants us to have because it is a confidence in Him.

"There is nothing that we have that we have not been given by God."

Just because God has given us everything doesn't mean we have no responsibility to do His will. Your so-called "confidence" leads to presumption, and we know where presumption leads:

"Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." (1 Cor 10:12)
