Enjoyment is not Optional Enjoyment is Not Optional By Matt Perman Pursuit of our own pleasure is a necessary element of worshiping God and loving people. First, because we delight in what we value .
Delight is the response appropriate to something that is supremely valuable.
God is supremely valuable above all things. Therefore if we do not delight in God, it shows that we do not consider Him supremely valuable. Second, because praise is the overflow of our enjoyment of God . Therefore, since we only praise what delights us, we cannot praise God if we do not delight in Him. In fact, praise is not only the expression but the completion of our enjoyment in God.
