God is incomprehensible, to search the depths of Him is
impossible, the very thing a mere mortal cannot do. Yet I long to know more
about Him and I turn to scripture to lead me to the many truths that is He.
What does the Lord take pleasure in?

Faith in Jesus’ salvation – Hebrews 11:6
If you have been
saved by faith, then you have been given the free gift of grace. Therefore, the
Lord delights in you, He takes pleasure in seeing the faith that you have, the
faith that He has given you by the blood of His son!

Revealing Himself to the Lost – Galatians 1:16
When
the Lord revealed Himself to Saul, scripture says that He took pleasure, or
delight in doing so! If you are in-Christ the Lord took pleasure in revealing Himself to you! It pleases Him to give the dead new life, to make the blind
see, to reconcile Himself to His wayward children!

The fullness of God dwelling in His son Jesus
Christ – Colossians 1:19
When Jesus was sent to save the sins of many, the fullness of God Himself
was dwelling in Jesus’ earthly body. It pleased God to dwell in Jesus, to live
out a perfect life, and to die on a cross to become propitiation for the sins
of His faithless bride, then to rise again in all His glory and to come back
one day to restore all things to Himself. The fullness of God in Jesus to have
all these things take place pleases the Lord, He is delighting in the glory of
Himself!
It’s beautiful to see what delights my Saviors heart!
Although the scriptures above are only a few that speak of
what pleases the Lord, more is to come.
Stay tuned.
