"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb. 11:6)
A tight rope was stretched across Niagra falls. A crowd had gathered and a man pulled a unicycle
out of a box and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention! Let me see a show of
hands: how many of you believe that I can ride across the Falls on this unicycle and safely reach
the other side?" The crowd, eager to see the feat, raises their hands and responds enthusiastically.
"We do! We do!" The man replies, "Wait! That's not all! Another show of hands: how many of
you believe I can ride safely across while balancing someone on my shoulders?" The crowd waves
their hands and shout, "We do! We do!" The man says, "Great! Now, one more question: which
one of you volunteer to be the one on my shoulders?" There was great silence as the hands
quickly dropped.
If we truly believed that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, we would be diligently seeking Him. Let us seek Him with all our being.
