Hebrews 11:1-3 New Living Translation (NLT)
It is our faith that rises like a sweet smelling fragrance before the Lord; our faith pleases the heart of God because it acknowledges the Lord as Source. When we come to God with faith believing that he desires to bless us as his children; he is a proud Abba. We all think we know what will make us happy or fulfilled as we pray and petition God, but sometimes we are looking at things from a very shallow perspective and unable to see the greater options. That is why we come by faith to the throne of God. He knows us and He knows our needs. God knows your needs, today.
One thing we must all keep in mind, the rewards and treasures God imparts to us may not always be what we are looking for in the beginning nor recognize as such when they arrive. Those spiritual blessings will, however, be the very things we are the most grateful for as time goes on. God knows how to give good gifts to his children; they are always eternally connected to the inheritance of Christ the Anointed One. Put your faith out for the Lord and expect him to bless you because of Jesus! Be an example of great faith by believing for God to meet every need in your life.
