Confident

2 Corinthians 5:6-10

Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Confident – having strong belief or full assurance; sure: confident of fulfillment, sure of oneself; having no uncertainty about one’s own abilities, correctness, successfulness, etc.; self-confident; bold, trustful or confiding.

Night flying can be beautiful and frightening. “Lakes, rivers, railroads, and fields fade into blackness, while cities appear as crystalline mazes of lights” (Robert Rossier, AOPA). Pilots must have confidence in not only their instruments but also their own instincts. We don’t walk through life by sight. Yes, we see what is around us, but  we have faith that we are going to wake up, the car will start, we have a job to go to, we will return home…you get the idea. We are confident that God will navigate our day and get us through everything we face.
