The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
notes by Pat Krabacher

Purpose 1/ Week 2: You were planned for God’s pleasure (worship)

8. Planned for God’s Pleasure

A. You created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created.
Revelation 4:11 (NLT)

The Lord takes pleasure in his people.
Psalm 149:42 (TEV)

B. Bringing enjoyment to God, living for his pleasure, is the first purpose of your life.

God wants you to enjoy life, not just to endure it.

Anything that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship.
- - - Like a diamond, worship is multifaceted.

Worship is a lifestyle.
- - - If music is offered to God in spirit and truth, it is an act of worship.

Every activity can be transformed into an act of worship when
you do it for the praise, glory, and pleasure of God.

C. Point to Ponder:
I was planned for God’s pleasure.

Verse to remember:
The Lord takes pleasure in his people. Psalm 149:4a(TEV)

Question to Consider:
In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind
myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?
