5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 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.
7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
I love this passage. It tells us how to please our heavenly Father and how to be rewarded by Him! It offers hope. I love how it gives examples of different faith. Everyone of us is called to walk by faith. When we hear that still small voice, by FAITH, we get up and act on it!!! It may seem foolish, crazy, absurd and even extreme but when we get up and act on it, it is counted to us as righteous (Genesis 15:6). God loves that! He REWARDS that! Peter got out of the boat because of his faith!!!
What is insane is that Peter walked on water and as soon as he started to sink, Jesus asked him, why he had such little faith (Matthew 14:22-33)!!! Little faith!?!?!?! He walked on water!!! He was radical, he believed God and he didnt care what anyone thought!!!!
Today lets walk by faith like we never have before! Lets ask God to call us out on the waters....no matter how crazy or scary it might be, no matter how big the storm is- be obedient! The more you hear and actually do, the deeper walk you will have.
THIS IS WHAT WILL GET YOUR FIRE BLAZIN AND KEEP IT BLAZIN!
Side note
When Peter stepped out of the boat, I am sure the other disciples were trying to stop him!!! They really were concerned and loved him, they didn't want anything bad to happen to him, but he trusted God!!! When he heard God's voice, he didn't care what anyone said. #TrustHim
