Chapter nine was about how we can make God smile: ways to please Him. God smiles when we love him supremely- He wants a sincere relationship with us. For us to listen to Him, spend time with Him, LOVE him. God also smiles when we trust him completely- have faith even when we grow weary and things don't seem clear. Noah had amazing faith in God, having to spend his lifetime building an ark, and rounding up all animals, for a flood that would wipe out the world...unheard of right? People probably thought he was crazy, HE probably thought he was crazy, but Noah trusted and believed anyway. God smiles when we obey him wholeheartedly- without hesitation or reservation, no partial "pick-and-choose" obedience, but with enthusiasm. He smiles when we praise and thank Him continually- express your gratitude for everything God does, with the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. God smiles when we use our abilities- use the gifts and talents he has given you, and especially when you can use them to bring him glory. With all these ways, make God smile day
