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
TODAY'S WORD:
My brothers and sisters in Christ do you know what pleases God? He's not impressed by how much knowledge we have biblical or otherwise. He isn't influenced by how many possessions we have accumulated or not acquired in our time on this earth. He's not moved by our accomplishments, He is moved simply by our faith in Him.
What's interesting is that faith is a gift. It's not something we have to contrive or work up or build up to as many have been mislead or miss-taught. The scripture tells us that everyone has been given a measure of faith and that faith grows as we hear the Word of God.
That's why it's so important to stay connected to a Bible-based church where you can hear the Word of God taught. That's why we have to make time every day to read and study His Word because you're feeding your faith. Even through a resource as simple as this blog that I share with you daily you can study and grow spiritually. The more you feed your faith, the more you know Him and understand His goodness.
Selah people' and friends today, take time to feed your faith. Meditate on His Word and ask Him to illuminate your heart with His truth. Trust that He is good and has good things in store for your future because that is faith that pleases God.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father in heaven, thank You for giving me faith so that I can be pleasing to You. Fill my heart and mind with Your truth. Transform me into Your image and let everything I do bring glory to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
