"If [my confidence] is based on Jesus and who he is and his acceptance of me and his love for me...then all of a sudden, I am secure." — Natalie Abbott

On today's episode: What are your shaky foundations? Where are you out in the wasteland trying to pull life-giving water out of dry sand?What are the things you're putting your trust in instead of Jesus? These are the questions Natalie and Vera are answering today from Chapter 4 of Dwell Differently. They talk candidly about their own tendencies not to trust in Jesus but to put their trust in other things. Yet they also give good counsel to encourage us of the blessings we find when our confidence is placed securely in Jesus. 

Today's verse: "But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him." — Jeremiah 17:7
