Without Faith it is impossible to please God

Heb 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please him, for anyone who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Why is faith so important?

How do you feel if  you tell some one the truth and they don't believe you.

How would you feel if someone  you love doesn't trust you.

How would you feel if one of your children or some one you dearly loved was about to do something that would harm them and you had advice to save them but they wouldn't listen or believe you.

G-d knows that if we do not listen to or trust him that we are headed for harm and that it is only by listening to and trusting Him and his Word that we can truly please Him.
I'm sure that most of us frequently lack faith in our day to day lives. We are told in Mat 6:25 - 34 that if we seek him first that all the things we need will be given to us. Yet we worry about paying that bill or what is happening with work or when is God going to show me what to do. These are all things we don't have to worry about because if we are seeking God he will provide us with all the good things that we need, and I often wonder when we are left hanging till the last minute on some of these things  weather it is not just for our benefit to give us the opportunity to trust our caring Father in heaven.
