And
It
Is Impossible
To
Please God Without Faith
Scripture
Hebrews
11
1
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of
things we cannot see.
3 By faith
we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command,
that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
6 And
it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to
come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those
who sincerely seek him.
Observation
Every
day you and I have the opportunity to exercise our faith … during
these trying, difficult, and tumultuous days we must keep our eyes
focused on the One who is invisible ... just like Moses did.
Hebrews
11:27 “It
was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the
king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on
the one who is invisible.”
It
takes faith to keep our eyes on the One who is invisible!
Need
to be encouraged … take a few minutes and read Hebrews 11!
We
need to keep our eyes on Jesus and not on our circumstances!
This
is from tomorrow's daily Bible reading and maybe I will write about
it tomorrow … we will have to wait and see:
Hebrews
12:1-2
1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses
to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us
down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run
with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We
do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and
perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured
the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of
honor beside God’s throne.
3 Think
of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t
become weary and give up.
Application
I
will keep my eyes on the One who is invisible and not on my
circumstances.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to be a man of faith. Help me to see things from Your
perspective. This world is not my home. I am just passing through and
I am heading to a much better place. Help me to run this race with
endurance. Don't let me become weary and don't let me give up.
Daily
Bible Reading: Isaiah 19,20,21; Hebrews 11
