God’s Delight
God loves everyone, and is not willing that any should perish.
But make no mistake, He is a perfect Father and greatly delights in those whose priority is to please Him.
Don’t waste time on earthly things; rewards given to those who fear the Lord are eternal:
He has the names of those who fear Him written in a book to remember them.

1Samuel 2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
2Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him…
Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
