What's Your Pleasure?

Hebrews 11:6 (Worldwide English (New Testament))

If a person does not believe God, he cannot please Him. Anyone who comes to God must believe that God is real. And he must believe that God will bless those who try to find Him. God will reward a person, if he really tries to find God.

Has anything ever seemed so simple to you that you thought that there had to be more to it?

We usually think that these type of things are too good to be true because we humans are skeptics at heart. There is a paradox in this passage. In order to please God we must believe in Him. In order to be blessed by God we must search for Him. There is the act of giving on our part to someone that we cannot see, to receive something from that same someone who you can't see.

We live in a world that tells us to take what we can get and get it while we can get it. Spend your time on you, so to speak. Do whatever you please. Don't waste your time on anything that you can't see an immediate result from.

God tells us to give our lives to Him, pursue Him and He will reward us because it pleases Him to do it. We pour out of ourselves so that He can pour Himself into us. This is pretty simple but it goes against human logic. Please Him because it will please you. So tell me:

What's your pleasure?
