And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6 ESV).
It is a special feeling when our children or grandchildren seek us out, when they want to be with us just because. It is our joy to lavish our love and affection on them and to share our wisdom, knowledge and give them gifts. It isn’t any different with our Papa in heaven. His love for us is even greater than what we can humanly imagine.
Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else will be added to us. This Scripture tells us much the same thing in a different way. That it is in faith we seek Him believing He is there for us and He rewards us for it.
There is nothing prideful in receiving any gift Papa gives us. His math has always been multiplication. The more we look for Him, the easier He is to find and the wider and more generous His arms are. He not only blesses us with gifts, He also protects, provides, guides and directs, speaks and heals.
No matter what things look like to your eyes, never allow your faith to be circumstantial. Seek Papa diligently in faith and receive all His benefits and rewards.
