July 14, 2009 How To Please God
Today’s Bible Reading: Isaiah 19, 20 , 21; Hebrews 11
Scripture Focus:
Hebrews 11:6 But 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 diligently seek Him.
Observation:
You want to please God? You’ve got to have faith. And what is faith? It’s believing that God exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him.
This reminds me of Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
The key is to diligently seek HIM, not stuff.
Application:
When I think about having faith, it’s easy to start focusing on the stuff. Sure, I have to think about the stuff in my daily life, but I can’t let it be my focus.
Prayer:
Father God, may my focus be on you today. May I seek first your kingdom and righteousness, and may I leave the stuff in your capable hands.
