A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada — Smiling is His Favorite. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Hi, I'm Johnny Erson Tata, and is it wonderful to know that we can actually please the Lord? We can actually give Him pleasure and delight. I love that. And I love that Ephesians chapter 5 says to find out what pleases the Lord and do it. What actually brings Him to light? Paul urges Timothy to make prayers and intercessions on behalf of everyone. For this is good and pleases God our Savior. Hebrews tells us to do good and share with others. For with such sacrifices God is pleased. Colossians chapter 3 tells us to honor our parents. For this pleases the Lord. And first Timothy chapter 5 says that, to care for your family, also pleases the Lord. One of the happiest things about being a Christian is to know that we can actually make God happy. We could bring gladness and a smile to his heart. So take the advice of Ephesians chapter 5. Today find out what pleases the Lord and do it.
