6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him.
I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace.
I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world"
David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28)
9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
For God detests half-hearted measures. He wants me to seek him wholeheartedly with a willing mind. This has to come from me. The passion for His Word, the desires to evangelize and Spirit of prayer has to come from me. This comes as a response through acknowledging what He has done in my life.
I need to earnestly seek Him so that I might find Him and be in His sanctuary,
Amen
