Pleasing God...

"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."  

Hebrews 11:6

Faith...it is made of hope, a feeling of expectation, but there is no evidence to support the fact that, that which is expected will ever become reality.  And, it is this kind of faith we must possess in order to please our Heavenly Father.  The works of the Lord are not always easy to understand.  The truth is they can be very difficult.  And, if we do not have a biblical faith present in our lives, we'll never be able to go forward in circumstances that make no sense to us.  When we have biblical faith we are able to relax and trust our Heavenly Father, even when we don't understand what's going on around us.  We have an assurance that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."  When you don't understand the world around you, understand you Father in Heaven loves you!  Have faith that He will take care of things as you continue to move forward in all He has called you to do, without invoking your right to understand!  Have faith in God, and always remember, "Father knows best"!

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
