Correction for How do I perform the following search

William Norman

I was reading the lectionary lesson from 1 Kings chapter 3.  Verse 10 says that it pleased the Lord that Solomon asked for an understanding mind.

How can I use Logos 7 to  search for scripture passages that show actions that people performed  which had  the following results. The scripture say the action  pleased God or was acceptable to God.?  

Graham Criddle

It's a difficult question particularly because there are different ways used to express the concept.

So while the NIV - for example - in that verse has "The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this." the LEB has "The word was good in the eyes of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing".

Genesis 8:21 has "The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart" and this might also fall in the scope of what you are looking for, but is quite different in how it is structured.

Both of these are tagged as a "Propositional Outline Experience" and so you could search for all occurrences of these that intersect with the person of God. That would give you a wider list than you are looking for that you could then work through.

So I'm afraid I can't think of any easy way of doing this particular search - hopefully others will be able to do better.
