God rewards people who diligently seek Him regardless of the pleasure or pain of the events they are experiencing. We all possess the same promises, the same faith, the same power, the same Holy Spirit, and the same Jesus. If you desperately desire the reward of God, then you will diligently seek Him and Him alone. That’s it ... that’s all ... you have to have faith. You simply must believe He exists and He exists to reward those who seek Him above all else.
Not all translations of Hebrews 11:6 have the word diligently in the verse, but it is there in the Greek as a reminder of how we seek Him. We must more than simply seek Him ... we must diligently seek Him. This word diligently in the Greek means “one who seeks something so passionately and determinedly that he literally exhausts all his power in the search.”
Diligence is required not only in the Kingdom of God, but is a requirement for any avenue of greatness.
Ask Olympic athletes about diligence ... ask successful moms about diligence ... ask award-winning gardeners about diligence ... ask concert pianists about diligence ... ask research scientists about diligence.
Living in that place of stubborn faith must not be a minor issue in your life but it must capture your complete and undivided attention every day of your life. The outcome of every other single area of your life will be determined by this one decision—will you be diligent in your faith or not?
The challenge of being diligent in one’s faith is scripted in several daily disciplines.
1 - Your eyesight: You must see what others do not see.
2 - Your embraced beliefs: You must believe what others refuse to believe.
3 - Your mouth: You must use your mouth as a tool that breaks through the seen to the unseen. You must confess with your mouth what has not, as yet, been seen in the natural.
4 - Be stubborn: Stay insistent in your resolve that will push the powers of hell aside.
