Joy Nugget #3: A God Who Rejoices

Do you think of God as One who rejoices? Since we are made in His image, we learn alot by thinking about what gives Him joy.

Here are some things God delights in:
1. in Himself (Psalm 16:11)
2. in His works of creation (Proverbs 8:30)
3. in His people (Isaiah 62:4-5)
4. in those who obey and turn to Him wholeheartedly (Deuteronomy 30:9-10)
5. in delivering His people from oppression (Psalm 149:4)
6. in those who fear Him (Psalm 147:11; Isaiah 11:3)
7. in those who pursue righteousness, integrity, and faithfulness (Proverbs 5:8; Hosea 6:6)
