Psalm 135 - Whatever He Pleases

I like verse 6

The LORD does whatever pleases him; in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.

There's a lot more to this psalm
- His power over weather and storms
- a list of many of the things that God did for Israel as they were delivered from Egypt
- the nations/kings He conquered for Israel
- a comparison with idols

But I really like verse 6 tonight...

The LORD does whatever pleases him; in the heavens and on the earth.

We can complain or question or ask or plead or....whatever. But God is going to do whatever pleases him.

The world and Satan can try to stop Him or sidetrack Him or distract Him... but God does whatever pleases him; in the heavens and on the earth.

Some people think they can bribe God or corner Him into doing what they want... but the LORD does whatever pleases him; in the heavens and on the earth.

Skeptics say God is in control only in heaven, that He has lost control over things on earth or maybe that He just doesn't care anymore or perhaps He set things in motion and then is just waiting around to see what is going to happen.
Nonsense.
God does whatever pleases Him; in the heavens and on the earth.

OK... has it sunk in? The LORD does whatever please him; in the heavens and on the earth!

That's awesome!
