Raining again today, but I love it!  All the bar ditches and stock tanks are overfilling.  Yesterday there was actually a road closure.  The reason this is so awesome is because we have not had any real rain around here for over a year.  Keep it coming, Lord!

Do You Truly Believe?

"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

I think that verse is so incredibly important to understand.  You cannot please God, in any way, without faith in Him.  God will not let you come to Him, for anything, if you don't truly believe that He exists and that He will reward you for earnestly seeking Him. 

I ask myself that question:  Do I truly believe?  Or do I try to convince myself daily that there is a God and that if I behave myself some good things may happen for me?  I am a lowly sinner of a human being.  I have nothing to offer God.  All I can do is live by His commandments, the teachings of Jesus, and share that with others.  And in my opinion, the reason I believe that is because I know that I truly believe in God and that it is only by His grace and love for me that I have anything.

I believe not only that God exists, but that He is my creator.  Think about that.  I truly believe that He created me, the earth, and you.  If I believe that, how could I not believe that he is there, existing?

What about the faith part?  Faith is believing in the unseen.  All we have to show that God exists that is tangible is the Bible.  Everything else is based on faith.  But for a believer who is wrapped up in the faith completely, as I am, the next thing that solidifies the belief is the answering of prayers.

What about you?  If you consider yourself in the faith, living the Word, do you truly believe?

Until tomorrow...

Come Believe.
