Nothing pleases Jesus Christ more than our faith in Who He is and what He can do (Hebrews 11:6).
He wants us to take steps of faith when He challenges us to do something. Never in my life have I regretted stepping out into uncomfortable waters when God asked us to do something financially that didn’t make sense on paper. I still get nervous quite a bit, but never do I regret when I actually step out.
God wants us to seek Him and to know what pleases him (Ephesians 5:10). It is impossible to please Him without having faith (Hebrews 11:6). Our faith requires not only a mental belief, but an actual step or action (James 2:20 and James 2:26).
Something I am learning right now is before God steps in, He’s waiting for me to step out.
Ephesians 5:10
and find out what pleases the Lord.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
James 2:20
You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
James 2:26
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
