Today's
Scripture:And without
faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must
believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.Hebrews 11:6,
NIV.
When God is
first place in your life, and you make pleasing Him is your highest priority,
then you can fully expect to live a blessed, fulfilled life! In today’s verse,
notice who God rewards. It’s not people who half-heartedly seek Him. It doesn’t
say “people who only think about Him when they’re having a problem” or “people
who will only come to church when something special is going on.” No, God
rewards people who earnestly seek after Him. That means we are determined. We
get up every morning and thank Him for His goodness. We go through the day
meditating on His promises. We give Him praise in the good times and the tough
times. We are constantly stretching, growing, learning and striving to know Him
better.
Today,
remember, when you diligently seek God, He promises that a reward is coming. He
promises He will give you strength, wisdom, favor, good breaks, promotion,
healing and restoration. When you seek Him with your whole heart, you will find
Him, and you won’t be able to outrun His goodness and blessing!
Father, I desire to please you in
everything I do. I declare that you are good and faithful. I trust you with my
whole heart and believe that You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek
You. I bless you and honor You today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
