“Now to him who is able to keep you from falling.” (Jude 24)
Some Christians tend towards self-confidence and have to be taught greater dependence upon Christ. Other Christians tend towards self-doubt and have to be taught greater dependence upon Christ. Either error has the same solution. Whether confidence or doubt, self-reliance or self-effacing, the real truth always ends up being about Him and not about us. Each morning and a thousand moments in between we must be brought back to the same place – drop to your knees, put away all reasoning and argument and commit yourself afresh to the One who is able to keep you from falling.

That’s funny, same remedy for the self-doubter and the self-confidenter: dependence of Jesus. This is wisdom. Thanks.
Deep and wide as the ocean,
high as the heavens,
simple enough for a child to grasp.
Well said. Thank you.
