Romans 12:3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
Notice, the word of God does not say we shouldn’t think highly of ourselves. It says not to think more highly of ourselves. Which means, we should be balanced. God wants us to have high self-esteem and confidence in ourselves. We are confident knowing that greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). He doesn’t want us walking the earth defeated and rejected. Why would God restore our dominance in the earth (through Jesus) if we’re just going to accept any and everything that happens to us?
Be confident in yourself, be confident in God’s ability, and be confident in God’s word.
