“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” - Hebrews 11:6, NIV
Do you see God as a rewarder? Notice this verse doesn’t say that God rewards those who “deserve” it or have “earned” it. It doesn’t say that God rewards those who act perfectly and never make mistakes. No, God’s blessing isn’t based on our performance, it’s based on our faith—our belief in Him and His goodness. In fact, one verse says that He longs to be good to those who are looking for His goodness.
If we're doing all the right things in life, but out focus is on fame and riches, we will not be rewarded. The things we seek on earth are temporary and will perish, but if we seek God and have faith that He will take care of us, he will provide and bless us with a kingdom in Heaven. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather have a kingdom over a $100,000 chain any day. It may be hard because of the struggles we may go through to sometimes doubt the power of God, but if you have faith in Him, there is no reason why you should doubt him. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrew 11:1
I encourage you today to spend some time meditating on His goodness and dwelling on His faithfulness. Spend some time reading the Psalms and begin to praise and thank Him for all He is doing. Imagine through your eyes of faith all the wonderful things He has prepared for you. Let His Word shape your thoughts; and remember, He is a rewarder! He wants to bless you today because you earnestly seek after Him!
