Hebrews 11:6

I was struck by Hebrews 11:6. It seems to summarize what I have been thinking and hopefully blogging lately.

Without faith, no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him.

This, in a nutshell defines what faith in God means. We believe God is loving, we know God is worthy of praise and worship. The first part of the prayer Jesus, says "Our Father, hallowed be thy name." God is holy (hallowed). God is deserving of praise. He is only so if we trust in faith that he rewards those who truly want to find him.

So we seek him. There is no end to what we can find out about God. Let us never get satisfied that we know him well enough or we know all this to know. Or perhaps we know all that we are able to know. God is able to creatively show us more and we will understand. We will understand because it is up to God, not us.

As we seek God, God will seek us. God will find us. And he will bless us. That is part of the rewards of God, but it is not all of it.

Thank you God. We bless you and praise your name for your love and faithfulness.
