This day inspired me to write a facebook post titled, "God is fun." I think it bears repeating here, so for those of you that read my facebook status that day, this may bore you... but God won't!
He created laughter, smiles, joy, parties, taste-buds and sex. Good times where his idea. He made everything we enjoy and gave us the capacity to do just that. He commanded his people to celebrate saying, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks" several times per year. So, we are made in his image. This aspect of who we are is very telling about who He is. God's word speaks of how He delights in us, how we are the apple of His eye, how there is rejoicing in heaven when one sinner repents, and how He dances over us! Could it be that one reason he created pleasure was to help us 'get' how much he loves us? When the Bible speaks of God's joy... to my memory... it is always something to do with US!?! Such thoughts are so amazing to me! When experience pleasure today, may I remember that it is a gift from God and it tells me just what a fun God I love and serve.
See how this devotion is simply a springboard to where God can bring us?
