I meant in the sense someone might paint a picture, write a story, or design a computer program. For the joy of creating something. Considering the variety of exoplanets out there, Someone is clearly creative for the sake of being creative. No one but God would have known about those planets until recently. Does it bring glory to God when we keep discovering more details of the world He created?If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

There have to be others for that to happen.
It wasn't clear that is what you meant when you said, "What if we replaced it with playing? What if part of the reason God does all He does is for joy? After all, there was no need for creation. God was not lacking anything. There was nothing wrong with God or no task He was assigned. Why create? For joy."
But I don't find it wrong that God wants MORE Joy so he created. Like I sad above there is a difference between NEEDING and LACKING. You NEED air, but you might only be lacking in a big screen TV. You can want to have something you are lacking, or do without. So I don't see why God couldn't be lacking in the joy of his creation and wanting to create so he could have that joy. He didn't NEED it, he just wanted it.

He doesn't NEED those things though.
