“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
My poor Bible has been pretty lonely. I haven’t been actively reading it. I’ve been spending time with God in nature and in meditation but I haven’t been studying his word. Which I think it’s just as important.
So today I was flipping the pages of my Bible looking for inspiration today…
and I came across this verse I had highlighted. Hebrews 11:16.
And there’s a word in that verse that stands out, believe.
It’s a reminder that trust is crucial.
Faith is kind of like the wind. We can’t always see it but we feel it. It moves through the trees, brushes our skin, and reminds us:
“I’m here.”
I do believe God is like that. All around us. Reminding us and encouraging us of His presence.
Something greater. Something powerful. Something all-knowing. Something here.
And though I don’t fully understand all of it…I do believe this greater power truly loves us.
But like any relationship, it takes two. We want God to constantly reach out and prove Himself…
Yet we don’t always seek.
Seek God.
Let the veil be lifted.
Open your heart.
Open your eyes.
And maybe you’ll start to feel Him like the wind. Maybe this “foreign language” will begin to make sense.
Faith is not about having it all figured out. It’s about having hope.
Keep seeking.
God sees you and is with you.
He rewards those who do.
