How can believers maintain their confidence in difficult times?

In challenging times, believers are called to remember the nature of their confidence, which is rooted in God's steadfastness and promises. The preacher reminds us that true confidence arises from faith and looking to the Lord Jesus Christ. As found in Psalm 121, 'The Lord is thy keeper,' offering the assurance that regardless of circumstances, God will provide and protect His people. This perspective allows believers to rest in the knowledge that their trials are temporary and that God is using them for a greater purpose, reinforcing their assurance that they are held firmly in His hands.
