| Who God Rewards |
|
|
| THE 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) |
|
|
| THE WORD: |
|
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!
