[Discoveries] 01-17-08 Meeting the Risen Lord -- Hebrews 11:6

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*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*/

All relationships are based on trust, and this is where God starts with 
us. He doesn't want our money or our talent or all our hard work so much 
as He wants our trust.

Does God exist and does He reward? I think we all believe that in our 
heads. The delight of the Christian life is discovering God in all those 
places in our hearts that don't know God.

That may seem strange to you, but there are in fact vast regions of our 
heart that do not yet believe. The disciples discovered this in the 
Garden of Gethsemane when they fled into the night bewildered, 
frightened, overwhelmed with sorrow. But when the Risen Lord met with 
them, He planted faith in their lives so deep that martyrdom itself 
could not drive it away.

May the Risen Lord meet with you today!

Be encouraged!
Dwight
