We’re supposed to believe the Word simply because God said so! He wants us to have faith in His Word and not always have to have a sign. Why does God insist we have to believe in something we cannot see or feel, purely by faith in His Word, trusting Him just like a little child has to trust a parent? It’s because the Lord loves faith! He loves us because we believe Him, just because He said so. It’s a way of showing our love and our confidence in Him. “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). It’s like a child who has to trust his parents even though he doesn’t always understand why he must do or not do this or that. He just has to “do it because Daddy says so.” Because the child trusts his parents and feels secure in their love, he takes their word for it. That’s the way we should be with God. We should say to Him, “Yes sir!” and believe it and do it simply because He says we should. — Hebrews 11:6 ESV - And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:1 ESV - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. John 5:24 ESV - Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. — Jesus, please help us to have trust and faith in you, the sort of faith that moves mountains and helps us to have a solid foundation of faith.
