God Is For You!

I had the firsthand pleasure of experiencing a dad's gift to his daughter. He sought out the best with diligence and persistence. He studied what was available and after determining what was best with safety, performance and value, based on his experience and knowledge, he special ordered a car for her. Standard was not an option! He was so excited about its' arrival, that he visited the dealer daily to see if it had come in! He took pleasure in giving the best, to his daughter!

This reminded me again of how God feels about us, as scripture says in Matthew 7:11"If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"

This morning the verse that I claim as my own and I hope you will too, is Hebrews Chapter 11 vs 6. It says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that he is, or exist, and that he rewards those who diligently seek him!"

What that says to me, that is reiterated in various forms throughout the bible, is that God wants to reward us! I knew you in your mother's womb, I know the hairs on your head, I know the plans I have for you to give you a hope and a future! The list goes on and on....

"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them, I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them." Isaiah 42:16

I hope that whatever you are going through, that you are encouraged to keep the faith, trusting in God to reward you as a diligent seeker of him!
