Philippians 4 and I Thess. 5 ; and some comment from John Piper and me

Rejoice in the Lord. God is glorified by our joy in him.

God is glorified by his glory being rejoiced in. Joy is not a mere option to worship, it is an essential component.

Praise means, the consummate pleasure and the highest end of man is to drink deeply of the pleasure of God.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.

Rocking in the loving arms of Jesus.
