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:
Do you know what pleases God? He's not impressed by how
much knowledge we have. He isn't influenced by how many possessions we
own. He's not moved by our accomplishments; He is moved simply by our
faith in Him.
Faith is a gift. It's not something that has to be
contrived or worked up. The scripture tells us that everyone has been
given a measure of faith. It also says 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 the Word of God is being taught. It's why we
need to make time every day to read and study His Word because that's
how you feed your faith. The more you know His Word, the more you
understand that God is good, and He rewards the people who seek after
Him.
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 faith is what
pleases God!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, thank You for giving me the gift of faith so that I
can be pleasing to You. As I seek You and study Your Word, illuminate
my heart with Your truth. Transform me into Your image and let
everything I do bring glory to You in Jesus' name. Amen."
