What Delights God?
There Are Countless Reasons To Delight In God
All of you smarties out there – can you name one of the largest numbers in the world?
Waiting, waiting.
Yea, I didn’t guess it either.
It’s a word I’ve never heard of (and I probably couldn’t spell it the first time I heard it!).
Here it is: googolplexian.
Who comes up with these long words?
A googolplexian is a “1” with 100 zeros after it.
100 zeros!
That’s a lot of zeros, and some people will argue that there are even larger numbers than the googolplexian.
Even so, what really makes you think is that, as large as that number is, it doesn’t even come close to the number of reasons we can delight in God.
There are countless reasons!
God created you in the womb as the man or woman that you are.
That’s something to celebrate.
He knew you before you were even born!
Humbling, isn’t it?
One of the reasons I named this blog, “Delight in God,” is because I’m constantly learning new reasons to delight in Him.
What’s the point of good news if you don’t share it with anyone?
You can delight in Him, but have you ever thought about what delights God?
What Delights God?
What is it that delights God in us?
We can only get answers to that in Scripture.
Check out this verse in Proverbs.
Blameless?
Are you blameless?
That’s a pretty tall order because the fact is that we are humans, and anything but perfect.
Blameless doesn’t mean we never sin again. It means to walk with integrity with a commitment to follow through on anything God purposes us to do.
Lukewarm believers? They go to the back of the line.
God is not looking for someone who hems and haws through life.
Sadly, we’re living in a world now where integrity is less important than worldly gain.
We must stand up and stand out against this secular delusion.
The man or woman who commits to embracing God’s truth will have victory with Jesus at the end of our days.
We are imperfect, yes, but we serve a perfect God and He will guide us.
He knows our hearts.
Are we ready to serve Him with integrity? Do our lives, ethics, and morality reflect His glory?
The world is watching.
It’s the integrity of the upright that will guide them. When God knows in your heart that you’re upright and walking in integrity, and you have the integrity to follow through and do it, then here’s the green light. He will guide you accordingly. – Pastor J.D. Farag, Calvary Chapel, Kaneohe.
He is with us every step of the way.
