Our Good Is God’s Delight

God rejoices in the works of creation because they point us beyond themselves to God himself. 

The sweetest experience of God’s love is conditional on our transformation into the kind of people whose emotions and choices and actions please God. 

Day and night are saying one thing: God is glorious! Turn away from the creation as your supreme satisfaction, and delight yourself in the Lord of glory. 

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.
