I rejoice in your loving presence.

I’m thankful that even though you know everything about me, you still love me completely.

Thank you for never giving up on me.

Help me to keep my eyes on you today.

Help me to continue to please you and glorify your name.

I delight in your loving presence Lord.

And I’ll continue praising you throughout the day, as your face continues to shine on me.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

GOD SMILES ON YOU - God made you to love you, and he longs for you to love him back. He says, “I don’t want your sacrifices—I want your love; I don’t want your offerings—I want you to know me.” Can you sense God’s passion for you in this verse? God deeply loves you and desires your love in return. He longs for you to know him and spend time with him. This is why learning to love God and to be loved by him should be the greatest objective of your life. Nothing else comes close in importance. Jesus called it the greatest commandment.

The God Who Smiles

May God Smile On You

BY RICK WARREN

“May the Lord smile on you” (Numbers 6:25 NLT).

The smile of God is the goal of life.

Since pleasing God is the first purpose of your life, your most important task is to discover how to do that.

The Bible says, “Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it” (Ephesians 5:10 MSG).

Fortunately, the Bible gives us a clear example of a life that gives pleasure to God in the story of Noah.

In Noah’s day, the entire world had become morally bankrupt. Everyone lived for their own pleasure, not God’s.

God couldn’t find anyone on earth interested in pleasing Him, so He was grieved and regretted making man.

God became so disgusted with the human race that he considered wiping it out. 

But there was one man who made God smile. The Bible says, “Noah was a pleasure to the Lord” (Genesis 6:8 LB).

God said, “This guy brings me pleasure. He makes me smile. I’ll start over with his family.”

Because Noah brought pleasure to God, you and I are alive today.

Over the next few days, we will learn from Noah’s life the five acts of worship that make God smile. Here is the first one:

God smiles when we love him supremely. Noah loved God more than anything else in the world, even when no one else did!

The Bible tells us Noah “consistently followed God’s will and enjoyed a close relationship with him” (Genesis 6:9 NLT).

This is what God wants most from you: a relationship! It’s the most astounding truth in the universe: our Creator wants to fellowship with us.

God made you to love you, and he longs for you to love him back. He says, “I don’t want your sacrifices—I want your love; I don’t want your offerings—I want you to know me” (Hosea 6:6 LB).

Can you sense God’s passion for you in this verse? God deeply loves you and desires your love in return.

He longs for you to know him and spend time with him. This is why learning to love God and to be loved by him should be the greatest objective of your life. 

Nothing else comes close in importance. Jesus called it the greatest commandment.

He said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment” (Matthew 22:37–38 NIV).
