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.<\/p>\n
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.<\/p>\n
Do we want God’s favor in our lives? Do we want His blessings? Do we want His approval? Do we want Him to be pleased with us?<\/p>\n
I think every single one of us can say yes to all of those questions.<\/p>\n
So how do we go about doing this?<\/p>\n
We need to seek Him diligently!<\/p>\n
Diligent: Done\u00a0with steady, earnest, energetic effort.<\/p>\n
So we need to seek God energetically. We can’t seek Him half-heartedly!<\/p>\n
We need to seek Him steadily. We can’t just seek Him a day here and a day there!<\/p>\n
We need to seek Him earnestly. We have to be intent and deliberate in seeking Him!<\/p>\n
All of these things add up to a healthy pursuit of <\/i>and relationship with <\/i>God. If we will make this kind of effort, He will give the increase, and our relationship with Him will grow exponentially.<\/p>\n
And as our relationship with Him grows, so will our faith.<\/p>\n
So if we’re feeling like we’re lacking and we want God to reward us, we need to push those things aside that try to keep us from Him. And then we need to earnestly, diligently seek Him.<\/p>\n
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.<\/p>\n
