Revelations

I've been hearing a lot of good stuff this past week!
Sunday - "God is BIGGER than YOUR that!"
Tuesday night - "God's no ALWAYS means a BETTER yes!"
and then today - I read a daily devotional that used Hebrews 11:6 (NLT)

“It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”

The devotional talked about how we do “good” things or we don’t do “bad” things—all in the hope of making God happier with us, in order to earn his love and acceptance. But the truth is that there is nothing you can do, good or bad, to make him happy, to make him love you more. The way to make God happy is to simply have faith in him—in who he is and what he is doing. By trusting in him and seeking after him, you give him joy.
It sounds so elementary but after I read that, I thought, I SO do that. I can even remember praying “God, I do this and do that, I’ve even stopped doing this, why haven’t you answered my prayer?! What else can I do?” when all the while I should be just having faith that he WILL answer my prayer in His time. I love it when I have a revelation during devotion!
