Pleasing Faith

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Heb 11:5)

Faith isn’t blind, for if it were blind we would be vision-less. We go along our pilgrimage with both our spiritual eyes wide opened looking at the Author and Finisher of our faith. Our eyes are not set on other people but on the Lord…Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? (John 21:21).

Faith isn’t blind because we will reap what we sow (Gal 6:7). We have to be careful about falling into the trap of defining our faith by laying down things and practices that don’t bear any semblance to Jesus Christ. There is nothing new, nor are there new revelations; faith is believing all that He has said is sufficient.

Faith is to please God and not about pleasing man. In every mountain top and valley low experiences, the consistent walk is what pleases God. We don’t need spiritual adrenaline in order to please God. Faith is demonstrated in the everyday mundane things as well; faithful in little and faithful in much. Mundane things are not seen by man, but by God.
