TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6

Hebrews 11:1
AMP: NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
Hebrews 11:2
NLT: God gave his approval to people in days of old because of their faith.
Hebrews 11:6
NLT: So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him

Mathew 15:21- 28 tells us the story of a Canaanite woman who wanted a miracle for her daughter and came to Jesus. She cried, ” Master, have mercy on me; my daughter is sick and oppressed by the devil.” The bible records that Jesus didn’t give her any attention. As the woman got importunate , the disciples of came to Him and urged Him to send her away, because she kept crying after them.
Perhaps she realized that her crying wasn’t going to change anything; the Bible says, ” Then came she and worshiped him, saying ,Lord, help me”( Mathew 5:25). When she did, it got the Master’s attention and He attended to her. He commended her faith and granted her request, for her worship was an act of faith. Her daughter was gloriously healed from that very hour.

When we worship the Lord, we get His attention. It’s not our complaining or longevity of our problems that gets His attention; it’s our faith; and worship is an act of faith. God is neither moved by the flesh, nor by long weeks of crying. He’s only moved by the response of the human spirit, and faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. Sometimes people think that God should respond to them because they have been good.

They will even say “Lord, am a good person; why then am I going through this situation?” God isn’t moved by your situation or by the fact that you’re good. The Bible says, ” But without faith it is impossible to please him”( Hebrews 11:6). You are to respond with your spirit to the Word; that’s what gets His attention. Faith doesn’t complain. Faith doesn’t beg. Faith insists on, and maintains the integrity of the Word. Faith is acting on the Word, refusing to stagger or give up in the face of staggering opposition. That’s what gets God’s attention.
