Hebrews 11:6 (KJV 1900)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Life is about living to please God.
God created humanity to be an extension of Himself to rule in His place on the earth. The Bible explains God’s thoughts after He created man and woman. Genesis 1:26-27 (ESV) “26Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” God’s thoughts are evidence that humanity is to take full possession of God’s creation to govern it with the mind of God within humanity’s thoughts. Man is supposed to have the mind of God in all dealings with the resources of God.
Sin corrupted that connection God gave to humanity, but it did not destroy it. Sin corrupted all of creation, but God created a plan to restore creation to right standing with Him. Through the plan of salvation, God connects with humanity through faith. God gives life, and life is about living in a way that pleases God through faith. Romans 1:17 (KJV 1900) “17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Pleasing God can only be done by living in faith. The saying that “only what you do for Christ will last” is something to hold on to. Pleasing God is to live the Word of God in your everyday life. Doing what the word says in situations and circumstances will please God. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.” This action will please God through faith. To live by the Word of God, one must know the Word of God. To know the Word of God, one must read and study it, hear it, and connect with people who are living it. God will be pleased with anyone who lives this way.
When God is pleased with the life you are living, He helps you in life every day.
The way one lives reveals whether one believes in God’s existence. Those who live corruptly are suggesting that there is no moral resistance in their lives. Moral resistance comes from a higher authority than oneself. Ultimately, right and wrong come from God. When one lives one’s life considering the moral rightness that God has set, God is pleased and will lead and guide one in the right direction. Proverbs 3:5-8 (KJV 1900) “5Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the Lord, and depart from evil. 8It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.” Faith in God helps one to invoke God’s presence in everyday situations and circumstances. God will be with those who have a mind to please Him in their everyday walk. There will not be a day that God is not present if you have a mind and heart to please Him in all that you do. Will you do everything right? No, but He promised never to leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Faith in God is the only guaranteed solution humanity has for real help in everyday life.
There is objective evidence that God can and will help you in your everyday life. One must have faith that God still works miracles. When one believes in everyday miracles, one will find the power of God being manifested everywhere. When you go to work and ask God to ensure you do your job correctly, a miracle of God will take place. Small things, like helping someone else, and God placing you amid someone who needs your help to make it through that day, are a miracle of God. Faith to know that God will watch over you and your family is a miracle of God. It is up to you to know that faith can help you in everyday life. Every day of life is a gift from God, and every person can enjoy the privilege of knowing that their faith in God is contributing to this coming to pass.
Final Thoughts
Do not take life for granted. Have faith in God every day and keep a stable relationship with Him. God is the beginning, and He will be the One who will judge all for what they have done, good or evil. He will be here when the last soul is called to present themselves before Him, so have faith in life that you may have everlasting peace with Him after life is over.
