Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Blackaby's first line in today's reading is "Your relationship with God is largely determined by your faith."
Other lines/passages that made me stop and say "Hmmmm." were:
"You may say, 'I love God, but I just have difficulty trusting Him.' Then you are not pleasing him. You cannot struggle at the core of your relationship with God and still enjoy a vibrant fellowship with Him!" (bold typeface mine)
"Faith does not eliminate problems. Faith keeps you in a trusting relationship with God in the midst of problems."
As I pondered today's reading, I had this reoccurring line of thought, "What does the Hebrew's kind of faith look like?" "How does one demonstrate this faith?" God is not calling me to move our family to an unknown land. He has not asked me to build a boat to house the Earth's beasties and birdies. How does an increased faith in Him manifest itself in my life?
