Hide and Seek


"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." ~ Hebrews 11:6

This scripture tells us that God wants to reward us.

However, there is a condition.

In order to receive His reward, we must diligently seek Him.

That means we must be in pursuit of His ways.

We must hunt for Him.

We must actively search for Him.

But the key word in this passage is not "reward" or "seek."

It's "DILIGENTLY."

Many of us who say that we love God only seek after Him when we need Him or when it's convenient for us.

But to diligently seek for someone means to search tirelessly in all possible places for him, until you find him.

It's not that God is hidden from us, so that we must seek Him out to have a relationship with Him.

Rather, it's that He wants to know we have a heart for Him.

So, do you?

How can He tell?

The best way to show your heart is to diligently seek after His advice and counsel.

God bless,
James
