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 11:6 ESV) Our culture today has the intent of the 'easy button', make it easy for me. With the help of technology our thinking has changed drastically over time. We don't dig ditches, we use a trencher. We don't harvest crops, we pay corporations to do that for us. Though this may not be all bad this mentality falls into our spirituality. Faith is not easy to the natural man, especially in a high knowledgable society. Could this explain why so many people have trouble experiencing God? When you omit faith everything that is important crumbles. The key is found in this text, to seek Him, God Almighty. It isn't natural to the nature of mankind, it isn't easy because it requires intentionality, focus, time and things that we aren't necessarily used to. However, the rewards are out of this world! I encourage you to make this a priority at any cost.
