Scripture

Hebrews 11

6 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.


Observation

God has planned something better for us than what we are experiencing right now. We are strangers and aliens here on earth. This is not our home! “God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.”

One day I will be able to talk to Abraham, Samson, Gideon, Moses, Noah, and compare notes about our walk of faith here on earth. Some of the saints that this chapter mentions that were sawed in two, that were put to death by the sword, those that had to live in caves and holes, we will get to hear their faith stories.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God”, so are you facing something that looks impossible then you are just where you God wants you to be so that you can please Him! Hebrews 11 is not about easy living. It is about life lived out by faith because it was the only way for those saints to survive. None of them had it easy. All of them faced hardships, difficulties, persecution, challenges, and it was all to prepare them for something better…later!

A life without problems, without challenges, without hardships, is a life that requires no faith! If you are experiencing extreme hardships at the moment then count it all as joy because those hardships will increase your faith and your faith is what is pleasing to God.

Sometimes we think that if God was smiling on us then we would be living problem free, but that is not true at all. What will make God smile at us is how we handle the pressures, and stresses of what comes our way today, if we deal with them as people of faith.


Application

I will look up today and live out this day by faith.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to be a man of faith. I want to please you by trusting in you. Make me a man of faith. Give me wisdom and discernment today to be able to make wise decisions and right choices. Thank you for guiding me. Thank you for your word of encouragement today in Hebrews 11. I know that you have something better prepared for me. I also know that you have given me an abundant life, which I am enjoying everyday. I pray that you give me the opportunity to share my faith this week. Bring people into my life that need to hear about you and that you have prepared to be saved. You are a Mighty God and You alone are worthy of Praise! In Jesus Name Amen.
