Hebrews 11:6
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.
God has spelled out in the bible His nature, His relationship to man and how to get right with Him. The garden shows His original wishes. He created man with this wonderful creation. Then once Adam saw his need, he made Eve. All was perfect. God would stop in occasionally to spend time with them. This is what God wants from us. He wants us to live life in the place we find ourselves, love our family and friends and to check in with Him. It’s a wonderful life. To get through our daily routine, we are to rely on Him.
What’s our default reaction to God? Fear or trust, guilt or attraction,…? Do we believe that He wants to reward and bless us? As we grow in Christ, it should all be positive. As we spend time in His Word, we find out what He’s really like; the way He revealed Himself to be.
Lord, Help us to be those who know that You are a rewarder of those who seek You.
