Hebrews 11:6 a"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Some people are just lazy, which is why they never see anything accomplished with
their lives. They blame their lack of success on this, that, and everything but themselves. But God is no respecter of persons. What He does for one, He will do for all. The key factors that make the difference are not about God, but about a person's level of determination and his or her willingness to do whatever is necessary to achieve a goal.
It may be a hard fact to face, but ultimately we are all responsible for our success or our lack of success. We all possess the same promises, the same faith, the same power, the same Spirit, and the same Jesus who sits at the right hand of God to
make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). The main thing that determines who succeeds
and who doesn't succeed is attitude and action.
In the preceding verse The phrase "diligently seek" in Hebrews 11:6 is taken from the Greek word ekzeteo, and it carries an entire range of power-packed meanings. It means to zealously seek for something with all of one's heart, strength,and might. It presents the picture of one who seeks something so passionately and determinedly that he literally exhausts all his power in his search. It is this passionate pursuit, this attitude that God rewards.
If you're serious about succeeding in life, you'll have to adjust your level of
commitment and give your full attention to what God has called you to do. Diligence
cannot be a sideline issue. Your assigned task must have your full consideration,
your undivided attention, and your mental and spiritual concentration. You must
immerse yourself in faith, prayer, and meditation regarding God's call on your life.
Distractions are not allowed.
It takes hard work to achieve any goal, and complaining about that hard work won't
make it any easier. So be constant in your commitment. Refuse to relent! Stay stubborn
and unbending even in the face of opposition until your objective is achieved. Your
consistency and determination will push the powers of hell aside and obtain the
victory you desire!
