Faith to Rewards

"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." -Hebrews 11:6 (NASB)

Many schools use a system called positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) that seeks to reward positive behaviors and provide supports to lessen undesirable behaviors.  In order for a system of rewards and supports to work, both staff and students must "buy-in" to the goals and expectations meant to establish a positive learning community.  In our spiritual journey, God has a system of rewards and supports in place for each of us.  For the system to work, we must know God and have faith in Him and His love for us.

To buy-in we need to have faith in God.  We cannot know God or please Him if we do not believe in Him.  Our belief and faith in God forms the foundation of our relationship with God.  When we believe in God and in Jesus' sacrifice that cleanses our sin, we are part of God's family.  As we seek to know more about Him, He will reward us.  From pleasing God to the rewards bestowed upon us, it begins when we buy-in by taking the step of faith by believing in the all-powerful God!

Have faith in God, seek Him, please Him, and accept His rewards!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for rewarding the faith that I have in You.  Help my faith in You to continue to grow.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
