Know the Difference

Cool froggie!


     Okay, I don't care what anyone says, now that's funny.  I love cool frogs and they are my theme in my room during the summertime.  I think this lil guy is pretty cool.
     The point of this blog post is the difference between confidence and arrogance.  Confidence is believing in yourself and trying despite the obstacles with a humble attitude.  Arrogance is a bragging persona that thinks too highly of themselves despite their obvious faults.  Confidence is respected while arrogance is a deterrent. 'Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong.' 'Arrogance is weakness disguised as strength.'  'Arrogance is knowledge without the wisdom.'  I would say humility is the bridge between the two and we must tread carefully.
    Who do you want in your court?  The one who can walk the walk but may fall or the one who talks the talk but can't walk at all?

  1. Love that: "Arrogance is weakness disguised as strength." I've never thought of it that way but it is true.

  2. Since God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, there is no question what I want or which I want to be. Unfortunately I often fall on my face, but thankfully God's mercy allows us to get up and try again. And I must say, though you may not be able to walk, you certainly can "walk the walk!"

  4. I choose confidence, but many times display arrogance. Lord, please help me to know the difference and to practice confidence. Thank you, Angie, for such a great analogy of the difference. Love you, T.
