God Is Happy! (And So You Should Be Too)
Although we often think and talk about God being good, loving — and even wrathful — the truth is that God is also supremely, perfectly, and always happy.
One of the best modern equivalents for the idea of “blessedness” in the Greek language is “happy.” And twice Paul declares to Timothy the supreme blessedness, or happiness, of God: “the blessed God” (1 Timothy 1:11) and “the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords“(6:15).
God is his own blessedness.
Did you ever think that God is supremely happy? He is happier than we can imagine, although he is also wrathful, grieved with sin, etc. He is happy because he is perfectly good and is working all things after his perfectly good purposes, with supreme and perfect power!
