God is not sad
Verse of the day: The Lord contradicts the designs of nations and nullifies the intentions of peoples. The Lord’s Council is forever; drawings of your heart, for all generations (Psalm 33:10-11).
- “Is our God in heaven and he does all he wants?(Psalm 115.
- 3).
- The implication of this text is that God has the right and the power to do what makes him happy.
- That’s what it means to say that God is sovereign.
Think about it for a moment: if God is sovereign and can do as He pleases, none of his goals can be thwarted. “The Lord contradicts the designs of nations and nullifies the intentions of the peoples. The Lord’s counsel lasts forever; the drawings of your heart, for all generations?(Psalm 33: 10-11).
And if none of your goals can get frustrated, then you must be the happiest of all beings.
This infinite and divine happiness is the source from which the Christian (hedonist) drinks and wants to drink more deeply.
Can you imagine what it would be like if the God who ruled the world wasn’t happy, what if God whispered, got angry and depressed, like the giant in John’s story and the bean?, sad, dissatisfied and melancholy?
We could join David and say, “Oh God, you are my strong God; I look forward to it. My soul thirsts for you; Does my body absorb you, like an arid, depleted land without water?63. 1)? I don’t think so.
We would all be bound to God as children who have a frustrated, dejected, sad, and disgruntled father, they don’t take advantage of it. They may just try not to disturb you, or they may try to work to win a small favor.
The purpose of the hedonistic Christian is to be happy in God, to rejoice in God, to appreciate and enjoy his communion and favor.
