Today God says:
"Without faith it is impossible to please Me"
He promises me:
"But without faith is it impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him". (Hebr. 11:6)
My response to the word:
I choose to believe God and His Word because I know that this will please Him. I realize that God doesn't call me to be successful; He calls me to be faithful. The literal meaning of 'faithful' is 'full of faith'. I will be a full-of-faith believer throughout this day.
My prayer:
Father in heaven, thank you for rewarding my faith. I always want to please you. Continue to build faith in my heart as I meditate upon your Word.
Today's scriptures:
"I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live I live by believing in God's Son, who loved me and took the punishment for my sins". (Gal. 2:20 GW) "No one receives God's approval by obeying the laws standards since, "The person who has God's approval will live because of faith". (Gal. 3:11 GW) "What matters is a faith that expresses itself through love". (Gal. 5:6 GW)
Quote for today:
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God. (John Stott)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
