Praise the Lord, Who REWARDS Us
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a REWARDER of those who seek Him.”
Do you ever think about pleasing God? Did you know it’s possible to please God? Hebrews 11:5 states that Enoch was “pleasing to God.” I can’t think of a more admirable thing to be said about someone than they please God. And, when we live by faith in Him, it pleases God and He rewards us.
How does God reward us? I don’t know all the ways, but I do that when I’m anxious or afraid and I bow before Him and thumb through my journal where I’ve listed all His attributes, my faith is increased. “He is able. He is almighty. Nothing is impossible to Him,” I read. As I call on Him in faith to help me or I intercede for my family and friends, I believe that He is who the Bible reveals God to be. No, I don’t know what all rewards the verse is talking about. But, the reward of His peace, the reward of relationships being miraculously restored, the reward of Him quickening my thoughts is reward enough.
The reward? For me, it’s His presence. His wonderful, guiding presence.
What a blessed relationship we have with our Heavenly Father.
Lord, REWARDER OF THOSE WHO SEEK YOU, You amaze us as we meditate on who You are and the relationship You invite us to enjoy with You. Help us please You more each day as we exercise our faith in You.
