"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore."
~~ -Hebrews 11:8-12
When we think of how to live a life by God's will and in a way that would be pleasing to Him, what do we think about? Does God look for physical things? Will God bless you more because you have achieved something great or amazing?
We all want to live in a way that will please God and which will result in us receiving more and greater blessings. So how can we do this?We have to realise what God wants from us. God always wants to bless us, but so many times we keep ourselves from receiving these blessings. We do not have the faith that God will actually grant us what we ask for in our prayers.
