And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
I am convinced that these two verses are so linked together that they must be regarded as the two sides of the same coin. Side 1 tells me that He rewards me, a seeker after Him. Side 2 directs me to search out the good in everything–at all times–in all things–whatever the circumstances.
For starters, no complaining or grumbling but always with a mouth that praises the Lord and gives thanks in all circumstances. Work to be done.
