Pleasing God Chapter 5

On to Chapter 5! For the rest of our Book Club study I am going to be doing one video per chapter or a typed review. Right now I am currently working and focusing a little more on my music which is why I haven't been up to date with the blog!

Three things I want to point out in this chapter WALK WITH GOD...

1. FAITH
Kay talked about our faith and how without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
Where does faith come from? GOD! She writes, "Isn't it beautiful that the very thing God desires from us, He gives us?" Ephesians 2:8 tells us faith is a gift of God.

How does our faith increase? "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17
We need to be in God's Word! Has your faith been weak and your walk been weary? Have a Bible around and throughout the day read and meditate on the truth of Scripture. You will find your faith strengthened and your walk more alive. The Word of God nourishes you and keeps you and your walk with God alive.

2. WALKING WITH GOD
Being AWARE of God's presence throughout the day. Talking to Him, acknowledging Him, thanking Him, praising Him, laughing with Him. I know we all want to do this more and more and so often we get through our day and realize we didn't pay much attention to Him.

3. IT'S YOUR CHOICE
She says, "The choice to have intimacy with God is yours." James 4:8 says, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."
God so greatly wants you to draw near to Him. He is waiting for you to make that decision...
