Psalms 84:11-12 NKJV
[11] For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. [12] O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”(Luke 12:32 NKJV).
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
For this reason, I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover, I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.” ( 2 Peter 1:2-15 NKJV).
“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure, they are and were created.”( Revelation 4:11).
+++God has created all things for His pleasure. Is God getting pleasure from the life we are living?
+++We often go to God to ask Him for things for our pleasure. How about us doing some things for God that will give Him pleasure?
+++To pleasure God is to serve Him in His purpose, His will, and His desires. For example:
Mark 12:30
Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
John 13:34
Love one another like Christ loves us.
Col 3:23 And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
+++In all our ways acknowledge Him. Give Him thanksgivings, praises, and worship. As we continue to serve Him, let’s serve Him only in ways that are pleasing to Him and give Him pleasure. Amen!
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
