—Psalm 103:1-17, 21-22
by: Trisha Gerstel.
When my children were younger and I was teaching them about godly character, my daughter asked me several times, “Why?” A six-year-old could not understand why she should act in the ways I described. The answer that was placed on my heart gave me as much joy as it did her; I told Abigail, “Because when we do these things, it makes God smile” (Ephesians 5:9-10; Hebrews 13:16; 1 John 3:22). What a blessing it is to know that our praise-filled acts of obedience, our songs of worship, and our love for Him makes God smile.
