I realize the gravity of what I'm asking. But, is God grateful? Does God have a thankful attitude toward his creation? God is gracious, but is he filled with a sense of gratitude in this graciousness? Is the Biblical idea of grace found in this idea of gratitude and gratefulness and thanksgiving? I'll provide a few verses that seem to be in context and show God has a hint of gratitude to humans: - Isaiah 66:2: God the Son was thankful to God the Father: > For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the LORD. “But to this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word. - Luke 1:48a: > For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; - Luke 10:21: > At that time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I openly acknowledge you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure. - Psalm 138:6: > Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from a distance. - Hebrews 11:6: > Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he **rewards** those who seek him. - Proverbs 3:34: > He mocks those who mock but shows favor to the humble. - Genesis 6:8: > But, Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
