day no. 15,696: what He desires, that He does

Psalm 115:3
Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

God is sovereign. He is the only God. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. He is one of a kind and a kind all to Himself. His prerogative is always performed. He is a free agent. He is under no compulsion whatsoever. He owes no one anything. There is no pressure that can be applied to Him. His pleasure is unrestricted. He can do whatever He desires. There is nothing He wants that He cannot have and nothing He has that He does not want.

Job 23:13
But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.

And He has always been like this and always will be like this. He didn't graduate to Godhood. There was never a time where He didn't get His way. He didn't attain or arrive at enlightenment. He is Light. He didn't achieve greatness. His is Great. He didn't become good by trying or doing His very best. He is Goodness.

Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed

And He has always leveraged all of His truth, goodness and beauty for the sake of others. He delights in displaying His great generosity of spirit. He loves charity. He enjoys giving Himself away. He does so because He wants to. He does so because it is Who He has always been, is now, and ever will be.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
