And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
Hebrews 11:6 emphasizes that faith is essential in pleasing God. One must believe in the existence of God and have confidence that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. No amount of good works can compensate for lack of faith.
Faith is the only thing that gives God His proper place, and puts man in his place too.
It glorifies God exceedingly because it proves that we have more confidence in His eyesight than in our own.
—C. H. Mackintosh
Faith not only believes that God exists, but it also trusts Him to reward those who diligently seek Him. Having a sincere belief in God and trusting in His promises is crucial in pleasing Him.

Prayer of the Day
Dear Lord, I come before you today with a humble heart, seeking to deepen my faith in You. I know that without faith, it is impossible to please You. I ask that You would strengthen my faith, so that I can trust in Your promises and walk by faith, not by sight.
Lord, I believe that You are the creator of the universe and the source of all goodness. Help me to hold fast to the truth of Your word, and to find strength in the fellowship of other believers. I pray that I would be steadfast in my trust in You and Your Scriptures, so that I can live right in Your holy sight.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
