Yes but it didn’t say God was glad because they were happy.

Worshiping God should make US happy. Consequently we should want to worship God because it will make us happy.

Do you not think that God is happiest when we are happy in Him?

If we are worshiping Him to make ourselves happy, we’re doing it for the wrong reasons.

We worship Him because He alone is worthy of being worshiped.

A side benefit of that is that it does bring the Christian joy, but that’s not the reason to worship Him. It’s His due because of who He IS and what he’s done.

“Worshiping God should make US happy.”

It could but it may not. We may be convicted.

We may be saddened by our sin that caused Christ to go to the cross.
A 14 year old threw that one at me in Sunday School today.
