“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

To please God, we have to have faith in God AND operate on that faith. Faith is believing even without seeing.

• John 20:26 New King James Version – ²⁶ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” ²⁷ Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” ²⁹ Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

We can’t let anyone or anything move us from our faith in Christ Jesus. When Jesus becomes real to us, we will not be shaken in our faith. Jesus loves us so much He meets us where we are–even if we have little or no faith. We need to do the same for others. We are all at varying levels of faith.

• John 1:1-3 New King James Version – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

We don’t have to be able to explain God, to know that HE is real. God EXISTS.

• Romans 1:19-20 Living Bible – ¹⁹ For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts. ²⁰ Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse when they stand before God at Judgment Day.

Jesus is always with us. Sometimes God talks to us and we don’t acknowledge Him.

• 1 Timothy 3:16 New King James Version – And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

We can’t see God, but we can feel God. We can’t see God, but He is real. God wants us to love Him for who He is. God wants us place to stay, and that place is in our hearts.

• John 14:17 New King James Version –  the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

• Romans 10:9-10 New King James Version – ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

When we face real situations, we need to turn it over to our real God, and get some real results from the only One who can really solve problems.
