I memorized Hebrews 10:35 during the summer. I found this verse to be a really interesting verse, especially for me. It says, "So do not throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded." We're all aware of Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." Pride, confidence, what's the difference? Believe it or not, there can be a huge difference.
Without God, nothing is possible. He gave you each and every talent you have. You wouldn't have any talents at all if it weren't for God. Are you being confident in the abilities that God gave you, and giving Him the glory for giving you those abilities? Or are you becoming prideful in the abilities that you supposedly 'earned'?
