Thoughts that come to me that I would like to share. Great to have place to express them. Sometimes they are crumbs. Sometimes they are larger bites - even slices.

How to Please God...(You must have a need!)

Ever wonder what makes God happy?
The book of Hebrews, chapter 11 verse 1 says

"11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see".

Things that we hope for are things that we do not have. If we have them, why would still hope for them? They are needs.

Being sure? Sure of what? Sure that we will receive what we need.

Hebrews 11:6 says:

6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Faith is being sure that we will receive what we need, that we will receive the supply of our
need from God. You could say that you have to have a need to have faith, and you have to have faith to please God. Therefore, you have to have a need to please God.

I think it is better said, however, to carry the thought a little further- It pleases God to meet our needs, to supply what we need, to bless us!

Enjoy life, trust God, enjoy His blessings!
