Core value CMA Part 7 - Faith

Achieving God’s purposes involves taking faith-filled risks; this always involves change. Hebrews 11:6

Read and reread Hebrews 11:6 - 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.

The context of this passage is the author is writing to the Hebrews that are being persecuted. He is sharing the hall of faith (which describes God's people following God with faith). There is story after story of faith that God describes. We can be so encouraged that God continues to do His work throughout the generations and uses us broken-failed people that submit themselves to God and seek him with hearts that are open to him.

I have been challenged lately to think about the ways I have lived a life that reflects one of faith. I have been asking God to allow me to take more faith-filled risks in going to places that God wants me to. Will you do the same? Can you pray that way and be open to what God is going to do?
