What are the things that bless God? These are the things that bless God according to the bible.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV. God is blessed in those who trust Him.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Psalm 34:8 ESV. We are to take refuge in and that blesses God.
Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 1 peter 3:9 ESV. We are not to repay evil but bless people instead so that in turn we can get blessed.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 ESV. God is blessed by a man who remains steadfast in the storms of life.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! Psalm 33:12 ESV. Blessed is a nation that seeks and is for God.
Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29 ESV. God is blessed by us believing in Jesus/God without seeing Him.
These are just some of the ways that God is blessed by what we do but I know in my heart that the greatest thing that blesses God is found in Luke 12:30 (ESV), And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30 ESV. He is truly blessed when we give Him our all. God is truly blessed when we are hot for him. if we are neither hot nor cold but lukewarm He will spit us out if you have read your Bible. So, God is blessed by us being all in Him.
So all the ways above are ways we can bless God and we will continue to look at this tomorrow.
Have a day of blessing Him, don't expect anything in return, and see what happens!!!!!
