Ezekiel 33:11 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign
Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn
from their ways and live.
In this verse, I see that God has great pleasure in those of
us who choose to love, honor, obey and live for Him. He created man to be a reflection of His own
glory and so that is what brings the greatest pleasure to Him. My life, when lived the way God intended when
He created me, not only fulfills me as an individual, but also fulfills Him as
the Creator. When I live according to
His Words, I have more peace, greater joy, and a satisfaction that is deeper
than I could have any other way (Proverbs 6:22)
and God finds greater satisfaction in His creation. This verse also reminds me that God does not
want to have to punish anyone … He is not a harsh judge. He would far rather save us than judge us. He is a loving Creator God, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to the Truth.
