The other day, I was out with my son and he was playing and having a good time and there was a hula hoop and we don't have a hula hoop at home so he didn't really know how to do it but he kind of had an idea and he goes to grab it and he says, he says, I'm four, I know how to do this, I can do this because I'm four and I was just thinking about that, you know, it's an awesome moment of him, he tries to do it, he does it a little bit and it just keeps trying but it was just this moment for me to see him, the confidence he had in himself because of a fact, right, he's turned four fairly recently so he knows he's getting older, he's getting bigger and he could do things now because he's four but I was really challenged by it just to ask myself, you know, do I have that same level of confidence and faith in my relationship with Jesus, do I have that same certainty of confession to be able to confess that I can do something because God is on my side and I'll be honest, you know, there's times where it's it's hard for me to believe that and to confess that but I was really challenged in that moment to say, you know what, there is truth, there are facts that I can stand on and it's the fact that that I am a child of God and that you are a child of God, we read in Romans 8 about how we are more than conquerors through him who loves us and I want to encourage you with that truth the same way I'm encouraging myself that that is truth that we can stand on, that is something that we can boldly confess and take bold action on as well, that we are more than conquerors through Jesus and so I want to encourage you with that, you know, seeing my son, the way he stepped up through declaring that he was four years old, I want to declare and confess that I'm a child of God and that I'm more than a conqueror and I want to speak that over you as well today that you are a child of God and you are more than a conqueror in Jesus so whatever you're facing, stand in that confession, take bold action and I'm praying for you in Jesus' name.
