The Purpose Driven Life: Making God Smile - April 25, 2015

 




Psalm 119:135 (NET Bible)     Smile on your servant! Teach me your statutes! 

Numbers 6:25  (NLT)     May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you.

Pleasing God should be your priority in life and you should seek how to please God.

Hosea 6:6     For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Matthew 22:37     Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

God smiles when we love Him without reservation or constraint. God smiles when we obey him and trust Him completely and when we praise and thank Him with the same zeal

Psalm 147:11     the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Hebrews 11:6     And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

James 2:24     You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

God smiles when we serve Him in our activities. Everything we do, outside of sin, can be done for the glory of God. God enjoys us when we enjoy Him and His creation in its entirety. God knows that we are incapable of being without sin but what He sees is our hearts and the attitude that dives our actions.


Psalm 14:2     The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
