DAILY DEVOTION

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.( Hebrews 11:6)

It is important for those who approach the throne of God to pause and acknowledge that God is. Most of the time we are in such a hurry to accomplish the religious duty of prayer that we never recognise who it is we are speaking to. Most of us have an imagination of a cloud, or the crucifix hanging on our wall or the image of a really old man high in the sky.
To approach God as God, the soul must rest in the fact that God is not who we think He is. Even our most generous imaginations are still way short of His glory and splendour. Therefore we ought to worship Him not as we think Him to be but as He knows Himself to be. We must believe that GOD IS ! That God exists.
To pause before prayer and acknowledge the one before whom we stand, will even rearrange our prayers; from requests and needs to worship. We see our smallness and His greatness. Our faith grows and we receive peace.
