Do you want God’s approval? I know you want God to say “That is good! What you are doing is good!!!�?/I> I know how you and I can get that. We get it by having faith.
In dire circumstances, in difficult times, trials and troubles, in the middle of all that we must put our trust in the Lord. How do I know this? I read the whole chapter of Hebrews 11 and found God’s approval list.
Take Noah for example, what is it about Noah that is really commendable? He was a builder, he was a family man, he was a preacher and the Bible says he was perfect in his generation, but what is it that got God’s approval of him? His faith!
Now look at Abraham, he was rich, he was considerate, he was the father of many nations, the first Jew, but what is it that puts him on God’s approval list? His faith! Moses was a member of the aristocracy of Egypt, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, he was meek, he as an administrator, he knew how to delegate authority, he was patriotic and he was courageous, standing up to Pharaoh, but those things didn’t get him on God’s approval list, what did get him there was his faith.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.�?/I>
Father, I put my trust, my faith in You. You are worthy. Amen. God Bless You Jean Fleming, Editor |
