Today we will be looking at God's blessedness. When used in the New Testament to refer to God's blessedness, it means happiness. God is happy and delights fully in himself and in everything that reflects his character.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31
As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.
Isaiah 62:5
If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
Psalm 37:23
- What are some things that make God happy
- His Creation
- His people
- When people obey Him
- The Greek word makarios is used in 1 Timothy to refer to God and is translated as blessed. One context that this word can be used is in congratulations where someone has done something that they are really happy about or when someone has won something.
- What do you think God has to be happy about?
- What should we be happy about?
- When we show signs of God's character in our lives
- When we are obedient to God
- When we recognize God's gifts in our lives
- What are you happy about?
