Our Good Is God’s Delight

The greatest news is that the cross upholds the worth of God’s glory, the honor of his Son, and the eternal salvation of his elect. 

The good news is that God himself has decreed a way to satisfy the demands of his justice without condemning the whole human race. 

All the omnipotent energy that drives the heart of God to pursue his own glory also drives him to satisfy the hearts of those who seek their joy in him. 

From eternity, God has been self-sufficiently happy in himself. And because he has no needs of his own, he is gloriously free to meet ours. 

Our hearts have a natural drive to seek glory. But unless we find that desire in God, we will never experience the satisfaction we so crave. 

Friends, God is not satisfied to be in the background of your life. The Lord your God is the Lord alone, so love him with everything you've got—your whole heart, your whole soul, and all your strength.
