Let's pray.

So Father, here we are one more time in this third session, and we need you again.

So draw near to us, and by your Holy Spirit, make our minds alive to your truth and our hearts awake to your value and your beauty and your

greatness, your glory.

And so do a clarifying of our thoughts and an intensifying of our affections for your great name.

And we pray that for those who be watching us as well.

So guide us now.

I guide the questions that are asked in my mind to say helpful things.

I ask in Jesus' name.

Amen.

So my understanding is we're doing this book again,

The Pleasures of God, and Chapter 7, 8, and 9,

pleasures of God in doing good to all who hope in Him, the pleasure of God in the prayers of the upright,

and the pleasure of God in personal obedience and public justice.

And there's an epilogue.

And there's a shift that's starting.

I pointed out in the chapters that these three chapters, unlike the first six,

include attitudes and actions of us that God delights in.

The first six had none of that.

Like in his son, in all that he does, in creation, in his fame, in election.

That's God delighting in what God does.

Now the question includes, are there things we do, attitudes we have that he enjoys?
