Put All Your Confidence In God by Dan1cole(m): 2:15pm On Sep 24, 2014
1 Corinthians 10:12b (MSG) ‘Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.’

God expects us His children to put
and cultivate our total, absolute and
100percent confidence in Him.
Because He is the Almighty Creator,
Alpha and Omega, Giver of life and
every good thing in life. We are not to
put our confidence in man (including
ourselves), because they can fail,
rather, we are to put our complete
confidence in God Almighty because He has never and will never fail.

I agree with the sentiment but it would be a great mistake to put all your confidence in one specific conception of God. Just look at the world (which has both greatness and horrible things).

For one, God is an abstract human concept. Which "God" do you speak about? The Jewish god like those in the bible, coran and torah, books assembled by Hebrew, Arabs and European people in their own languages, or some other concept of God? Maybe the Ancient Greek God (named Zeus) or the Ancient Egypt God named Amun-Ra (both very advanced nations for their time). In the sense, that your knowledge of God is what other humans told you about. So in reality you put your confidence in a book written by Jewish, European and Arab people. Sure there's a lot of wisdom in them, but also some archaic stupidity, and things specific to their ethnic groups like the history/genealogy of Abraham, like in ALL RELIGIONS AND HUMAN ENDEAVORS.

The concept of God, exist in all religions and spiritual traditions in the world. It may be the aspect that is the most interesting. Every nations in the world believe or believed in God in their own way (including agnostic people). Even atheist people, I would think, have this sentiment that there's possibly more to it. The world seems too balanced, too complex, to be only the product of chance and coincidences. What was there before the Bing Bang?

Don't get into "My religion denomination (Catholic vs Protestant vs Independant vs Shia vs Sunni vs other religions) is better than yours" childish thing. This is the human speaking, a none progressive/bigot human at it, not God.
