1/31/09…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.” I take this to mean Father that if we do great and mighty and good works, and yet these things are not done in faith to honor You whom we cannot see or touch, then it is impossible to please You, no matter how much good we do. Our faith is for You, for things hoped for, for us to honor You because we acknowledge You created us to do good works to glorify You. This is what pleases You, acknowledging You in our free will, by our faith.
I think back to doubting Thomas, and Your response to him when he did not believe You had come back to life, until You had him reach out his finger to touch Your hands and Your side…You said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Father, I have not seen You, but I believe.
