How I came about having verses to live by-- a personal 'mission statement' was a process. I remember reading scripture on being pleasing to God-- and recall stopping and thinking: "How can I- how would I- ever be pleasing to the heavenly Father?"
The first verse that came to mind was Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith it is impossible to please (God) for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
The context of that verse is Enoch's walk with God; Enoch, who had the assurnace that he pleased God.
Maybe more later-- but Hebrews 11:6 has become a very basic and important verse for me. It is why I am and always will be first a SEEKER after more of God. Maybe to my mind "to seek" is the same as "to WORSHIP."
I want to KNOW God! That is eternal life!
