Does God Smile?

Guest Blogger: Greg Womack, Worship Pastor

A lifelong friend of mine used to say, “All I want to do is make God smile.” While that is a worthwhile goal, the truth is we don’t have to do anything to make God smile, He already smiles at the thought of us.  Zephaniah 3:17 says it this way: “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Do you see that amazing truth?  The God of heaven and earth delights in you, covers you with His love, rejoices over you! He smiles when He thinks of you!  Isn’t that incredible!

Unfortunately, we often focus on God’s displeasure or disappointment with us rather than His delight in us.  The thought that God rejoices over us is hard to comprehend.  But it’s true!

What would our lives look like if we really believed God delighted, rejoiced and sang over us!  What would our work routines look like?  Our families?  Our worship?  The fact that God really desires to be with us should inspire, motivate and drive us to be with Him, to love Him, to worship Him! Do you want to make God smile?  His truth declares He already is!
