“A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.” Psalm 38:1
If a person can cause God to be hot with displeasure, than it must be that we can cause God to have pleasure. Will you bring pleasure to Him?
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11
The greatest purpose of man is to give glory to God. The greatest pleasure of man is to be in the presence of the Lord.
“I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.” I Chronicles 29:17
We don’t try God, He tries us. He doesn’t try us to get us to buckle under temptation and pressure, He tries us because it is His pleasure and way to bring out the uprightness in our heart.
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Ps. 16:11
The greatest purpose of man is to give glory to God. The greatest pleasure of man is to be in the presence of the Lord.
