no confidence in the flesh.

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Jesus Christ and put no confidence in the flesh -

Philippians 3:3

What a great reminder.  The contrast of Jesus Christ and my flesh.  Everything that is in God, within Christ can give us full confidence.  Why?  Because God will be given all the glory and if God is given the glory, things will work out for good for those who love Him.

Everything outside of Christ is to have no confidence put into it.  What a simple reminder that can be expressed in so many different ways.

I want to put no confidence in the flesh.  But it still drags me down, making me do what I don't want to do.  Must keep fighting.
