David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 26 June 2024: How to Please God
TODAY’S TURNING POINT DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH JUNE 2024
Today’s Topic: How to Please God
Scripture: 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
Recommended Reading: John 7:17
Jesus “marveled” twice when it came to faith. The first was when a Roman soldier said that a simple word from Jesus could heal the soldier’s servant. Jesus “marveled” at this, saying, “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” (Luke 7:9) The second was when Jesus found little faith in Nazareth: “And He marveled because of their unbelief” (Mark 6:6).
Hebrews 11:6 says that faith is required to please God—faith in His existence and His rewarding of faith. Seeking God diligently is not easy—Solomon compared it to digging for hidden treasure (Proverbs 2:1-5). And Jesus said it begins with our will: “If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know…whether [My teaching] is from God or whether I speak on My own authority” (John 7:17). Building faith begins with our desire to know God, which leads to seeking Him and results in trusting Him.
God rewards the faith of those who seek Him; Jesus’ ministry of healing and compassion is evidence of that. Seek Him today, knowing your faith pleases Him.
Nothing but faith can comprehend the truth.
