Without this.... you cannot please God.

What is the one thing that pleases God the most? What does he seek after?

Hebrews 11:6 says:

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone that comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those whose earnestly seek Him.

So what is faith? Faith is just believing God. I can feel His longing right now to find someone who will just believe Him. Someone, is there is anyone? Anyone who will dare believe without seeing? Anyone who will open His Word and believe everything it says?
Have you heard the saying, "Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing." This is so true with our God. First comes the believing, then comes the tangible evidence. And the correlation grows to the more we believe Him the more we will see Him.
Isn't it amazing how God chose to work this? But one thing I can promise you, if you believe Him, and grow in Him, He will reveal Himself to you. Right now God is so real to me that there is no one on earth that could convince me that He doesn't exist.
To know what an orange tastes like, you first have to peel it, and bite into it, right? Same concept with God.
"Taste and see that the Lord is good."

A second thought for the day:
God is wanting you to come away with Him today. Just find a few minutes and a quiet place and be with Him. He is longing for you. Just go there and by "faith" know that He is with you. It doesn't matter what you do there. You can talk to Him or praise Him or just sit and breath in His presence, He just wants you to be with Him.
