In Hebrews 11:6 we read, "without faith, it is impossible to please God." It goes on to say that "we must believe He exists and rewards those who seek after Him."
It is often interpreted to say that faith requires belief plus action, which is no doubt true. However, I do not believe that interpretation captures the full force of the passage.
I am convinced that this chapter of Hebrews, called "The Faith Hall of Fame," is greater than a simple call to believe and live a good life, I believe it is a challenge to accept the "God-sized" calling He has for your life, a calling to ministry or mission that you could not accomplish without His blessing.
I believe He is calling you to give more than you think reasonable, going where you think impossible, forgiving when you can't imagine it - doing what you would not, could not, should not even consider without God's "power that is at work within us" (Eph 3:20).
To what might God be calling you that challenges your ability to believe and obey? Jus' Ask'n.
