His Pleasure

“His Pleasure”
Psalms 37:4
“Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
Ephesians 1:5
“…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.”

“According to the good pleasure of His will.” It was Jesus’ pleasure to give His life for our sins. He lay down His life freely. He calls us His friends. You know, it is your pleasure to do good things for your friends. To call them, cook for them, have them in your home, just anything you can do for your friends gives you pleasure. Jesus said if we will keep His commandments and serve Him delightfully, then it is His pleasure to give you the desires of your heart. All our spiritual blessings flow down to us from that stream. Oh, how we should prize this glorious gospel and to bless God for it! His delight and pleasure is the light shining in a dark place, for which we have reason to be thankful. To be in union with Jesus is a great privilege. Every morning when we arise and every night when we sleep, we should thank Him for His supreme sacrifice and love.

Most loving Father, thank You for Your undying love and forgive me when I don’t live for Your pleasure. Help me to pleasure You in all that I do. Thank you Father for the many, many blessings above my needs. Amen
