This verse says if we want to please God, we must believe that โHe is,โ but we also must believe something else.
That your God is a rewarder, and those who come to God must believe that He โฆ is a rewarder.โ
You see, God chooses to reward us with everything we need for life and righteousness because it is an expression of His own generous nature.
His plan to reward, like His provision to save, is a display of His amazing grace. And thereโs no other way to think about it. It takes faith.

Father, we come to give You glory for Your generosity toward us.
Your gift of salvation, and Your amazing grace.
Lord, help us to have strong faith in You and believe that You are a God who diligently reward us.
In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen 
Have a blessed day
