Imagine the circumstances that would make the LORD grieve!
There was a time in Genesis 6:6 "And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on earth, and it grieved him to his heart."The Hebrew word was sometimes used as "sorry", "repent". In the beginning God had seen his creation as "very good" (Genesis 1:31). But now, it is filled with sin.
In 1 Samuel 15 and verse 11, God "grieved that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions."
The grieving over making Saul king was repeated in verse 35.
Question: And so, what might make the LORD grieve when it comes to us?
Answer: When we sin, as was happening in Genesis 6. When we turn away from God and not carry out his instructions (as in 1 Samuel 15).
Have a good day,
