With Faith it's possible to please God ....

Faith is so important to our walk with God and each other. I awoke this morning with that thought and a scripture about faith. Brad Grizzle spoke of faith again and again as he addressed the men's meeting this past Tuesday.

With Faith you can please God. With faith you can communicate with God. With faith you can "breakthrough in 2007," even though we've just a few days left. Dr. Bill Bennett taught me long ago that the word "faith" comes from an ancient Sanskrit word "pith" which means "to be one with." To have faith in God, is to be one with God. It's a relationship! Surprised? From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is about "relationship."

God desires and invites us to have a relationship with Him, and faith is a key. How is your relationship? What can you do to improve it? Perhaps get some new habits? Time in the Word? Time reading a good book? Worshiping with Christian music? Time with God-seeking friends? What comes to your mind? Do it! Awareness of God, and your ability to listen and hear from Him will grow. Faith will grow. Breakthrough could come more quickly than you think!

I leave you with a couple of inspirational examples and related thoughts. Aki Anna is a child prodigy with an unusual relationship to God and Mike Huckabee is a candidate for the Presidency of the United States.

Blessings in the the Name of our Matchless King! Enjoy the journey, Dwayne

"And 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 seek Him." (Heb 11:6 NASB)
"So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God." (Dan 6:23 NASB)
