What does it mean that God does what pleases Him?

Answered in 1 source

'God does what pleases Him' means He exercises complete authority over His creation without constraint.

When we say that God does what pleases Him, we acknowledge His supreme authority and the freedom to act according to His will. Isaiah 45:9 states, 'Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!' This illustrates that no one can challenge God's decisions or purposes. It emphasizes God's autonomy in directing the affairs of the universe, His ability to save whom He wills, and the assurance that His plans cannot be hindered. Understanding this concept invites believers to find refuge in God's character, casting aside doubts about His decisions and trusting that He always acts in accordance with His nature and glory.
