What Pleases God The Most?

What Pleases God The Most?

Matthew 17:5

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Jeremiah 9:23
Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches.

Within the context of the scripture, it speaks on our behalf, which entails that God is not happy for any man entitled with sin, nor is he delighted in what man has achieved, be it our qualification, our beauty, or wealth; rather, the Bible lets us know that these are what give rise to pride, which takes us out from our belief; hence, the right thing we ought to do is for us to be of good faith, working diligently in faith while we seek and engage with our heavenly father , which speaks of righteousness.

Also, as the course of this lesson lets me understand that there is one thing that pleases God most, which is that his son is the only thing that pleases him, which is what was revealed to us during the transfiguration in the book of Matthew 17:5, which declares to us that he is the son that he is well pleased with, which we are meant to subdue ourselves and listen to him, which is the best thing we ought to do to follow him and do what he has commanded us to do, which brings forth blessings.
