"But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek him."
Without faith it is impossible to please God. God wants us to believe in Him ~ believe that He is able and willing to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or think (Eph 3:20). God has given each of us a measure of faith (Rom 12:3). We need to build on it, exercise our faith, and give faith a chance to work....start with the small things and build up.
How can you exercise your faith?
By talking of His wondrous works (Psalm 105:2).
Testify, tell others about what God has done and is doing. We all have testimonies ~ share them! By doing this we build each other's faith.
Read books or listen to testimonies of what God has done in other people's lives.
Faith brings peace ~ peace because you know that the One who is greater than any situation you may face is in control of every situation you are going through. Keep your eyes on Jesus! Don't let circumstances or negative conversations (faith squashers) diminish your faith. Sometimes you have to encourage yourself in the Lord by quoting Scriptures such as, "God's Word says if I pray the prayer of faith, the sick shall recover" or "God's Word says my God shall supply ALL my needs."
The next part of this scripture reads, "he that comes to God must believe that He is...." He is what? He is our healer! He is our provider! He is our comforter! He is our protector! He is everything you need!
The last part of this verse reads, "He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." We seek for Him by studying the Bible and by praying daily. God wants us to have more than a religion....He wants us to have a relationship with Him. He wants us to know more about Him. And as we learn more about Him, our faith will grow because we will understand how great He is!
