Planned for God's pleasure (Day 8)

Everything was Created by God for his pleasure (Genesis 1:1-3:1, Revelation 4:11)
God takes pleasure in his people (Psalm 149:4)

We can't make God love us more, but we can bring him pleasure with our lives
 - Grace is God’s empowerment to live beyond normal
 - Through us this extraordinary plan of God is being made known Eph 3:9-10 - MSG
 - Empowering is the act of giving someone the authority or power to do something
 - Holiness is freeing; evidence is a joy and peace at heart (Isaiah 35:8-10)

Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship



Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song: "Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

Revelation 5:12
In a loud voice they said: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!"

Ephesians 6:19
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, divine utterance may be given me, so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,
