Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 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.
Over the years, I have come to understand how important this really is.
Our faith is the key to every aspect of our walk with God.
It’s critical for us to recognize that this faith is not faith in ourselves. It is not faith in a person, such as a pastor or other church leader.
And it isn’t faith for the sake of having faith.
Our faith must be solely, strongly rooted in God alone.
And it is that kind of faith that is being referred to in the verse above.
It is that kind of faith that will allow us to see God move in our lives. It is that kind of faith that will cause us to see miracles; true miracles that are life changing.
This kind of faith is not meant to be on display on Sunday morning. It is not a mechanism by which we obtain social status.
Jesus mentioned this kind of faith on several occasions. And in all these instances, people experienced miracles. Here is one of them.
Mark 5:34 (NKJV) 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
On another occasion, a Roman centurion approached Jesus and asked Him to heal his servant but wanted Him to do so without even going to see the person in need of healing.
Jesus was astounded at the man’s great faith!
Matthew 8:10 (NKJV) 10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
It is this kind of faith in Him that God wants us to have; the kind of faith that trusts Him implicitly.
So, we encourage you to seek God. Pursue Him with every fiber of your being, not so you can see miracles, but so you can see Him for who He is; the One who created everything we see. The one who breathed life into our lungs and created the rhythm of our heartbeats.
And, yes, even the One who still does miracles each and every day.
For without faith, it is impossible to please Him.
