God's Participatory Joy

Commentators emphasize that God doesn't just provide reasons for joy; He actively participates in it. John Calvin notes that God's love is so profound that He delights in His people's prosperity as if it were His own. This reveals a deeply personal and affectionate God who is moved by our well-being and rejoices with us.
