God Does Not Reward Everybody

God does not reward everybody; he rewards only those that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (b) '' he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.'' The word diligent from the dictionary simply means; - constant in effort to accomplish something; attentive and persistent in doing anything. We need to constantly seek him and also being persistent if we want to be rewarded by God. Some people are just lazy, which is why they never see anything accomplished with their lives. They blame their lack of success on this, that, and everything but themselves. But God is no respecter of persons. What He does for one, He will do for all. The key factors that make the difference are a person's level of determination and his or her willingness to do whatever is necessary to achieve a goal. It may be a hard fact to face, but ultimately we are all responsible for our success or our lack of success. We all have access to the same promises, the same faith, the same power, the same Spirit, and the same Jesus.

Hebrews 11:6 says that God "is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." God only rewards those who diligently seek Him, which means people with a lazy, do- nothing; "take-it-easy" attitude will never be greatly rewarded by the Lord. God is a rewarder of those who put all their heart, strength, and might into seeking Him. Those who are so committed in their search that they are willing to exhaust all their natural powers in their search for Him - they are the ones who will find what they are seeking! You see, you have to be diligent to be rewarded by God, so it should be no surprise that diligence is going to be required in order for you to succeed in every sphere of life. It's just a fact that a lazy, neglectful attitude will never get you where you need to go. If you take your life assignment lightly - if you approach it with a casual, easygoing, take-it-easy, relaxed attitude - you'll never go far in the fulfillment of your call or dream. If you're serious about succeeding in life, you'll have to adjust your level of commitment and give your full attention to what God has called you to do. Diligence cannot be a sideline issue. Your assigned task must have your full consideration, your undivided attention, and your mental and spiritual concentration. You must immerse yourself in faith, prayer, and meditation regarding God's call on your life. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT.
