DAY 9-

Wat Makes God Smile?
THe Smile of God is the goal of your life!
"May the Lord smile on you." Numbers 6.25
Since pleasing GOd is the first purpose of your life, your most important task is to discover how to do that. "Figure out what will please Christ and then do it." Ephesians 5:10
FIve acts of worship that make GOd smile:
-God smiles when we love him supremely
-GOd smiles when we trust him completely
-GOd smiles when we obey him wholeheartedly
-God smiles when we praise and thank him continually
-God smiles when we use our abilities
YOu may feel that the only time God is pleased with you is when you're doing 'spiritual activities-like reading the Bible, attending church, praying or sharing your faith. Actually God enjoys watching every detail of your life, whether you are working, playing, resting or eating.
"THe steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives." Psalm 37:23
Every human activity except sin can be done for God's pleasure if you do it with the attitude of praise.
Will you make pleasing God the goal of your life?
(from Neil Bach, Senior Minister of St Marks Anglican Church Forest Hill)
