Planned for God's Pleasure

We had another good study led by Pastor Tony. Jeannete's Pancit palabok was a hit.
God did not need to create you and I. He is perfect and does not need anyone or anything else. Yet he chose to create you for his own enjoyment. He was smiling when you were born. Just as parents feel pleasure when their child obeys them, God feels pleasure when we obey Him. Bringing pleasure to God is called "worship." However, we often use the term "worship" as if it is a one time event (ie, going to worship service, doing praise and worship). But the truth is - worship is a "lifestyle." Worship is far more than music and it is not for your benefit. It isn't for you, it's for God. It is not a part of your life; it is your life. You can bring pleasure to God in everything you do. The bible says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."
Please keep Sol and I in your prayers as we travel to San Diego for a vacation. Next meeting will be at Pastor Tony's place in Moron, Spain. You may contact Ariel Genido at 659-441-148 or 956-82-4280 if you wish to attend.
