The unknown author writes that having faith toward God is essential.

Hebrews 11:6 “. . . 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 seek Him.” (NASB)

This is a verse worth thinking on . . . Obviously, it’s saying to be a Christ-follower experiencing God’s greatest blessing requires cultivation of a life of faith.  On the other hand, if you aren’t practicing faith as a lifestyle — you aren’t pleasing God.  There’s no in-between. Faithless living has consequences!

Faith is like working out — it’s hard.  Like a muscle aching after a bench press; the muscle of faith is built through leaning on the Almighty through the challenges of life.  Faith is all about how great God is — and because He is great He can be trusted . . . whether He answers your prayer the way you want or not!
