"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarded of those that seek Him." -Hebrews 11:6 (NASB)
The study Bible that I use begins the eleventh chapter of Hebrews with the heading, "Triumphs of Faith." This chapter of Hebrews serves to give us examples of faithful servants of God and to inspire us in our beliefs in and service to God. Verse six reminds us of the reality of faith in God: Faith is required for us to please God. If we do not have faith in God, then how can we believe in Him and trust in Him to reward our seeking?
Our faith in God must be real. It must grip us at our core, it cannot be simply lip service that we pay on Sunday mornings at church or when it feels right. A faith that pleases God, draws us near to God, and allows us to experience His love and peace must be part of our entire being, expressed in our words and actions on a daily basis. God will reward us, but we must put our faith in Him and then act on it!
Put your faith into action everyday, drawing closer to God and experiencing His full blessing!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the examples of faithful servants that You give me throughout the Bible. Help me to have faith and to put my faith into action so that I can seek You, draw closer to You, and experience Your blessing in my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
