Psalm 17- Counterfeits Unveiled

 ”I call on you, God, because you will answer me; listen closely to me; hear what I say. 

But I will see your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with your presence.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭17‬:‭6‬, ‭15‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

What a great reminder of who God is and how much He cares for us.  He promises to answer our prayers…and to listen to whatever we have on our minds.  He reminds us that true satisfaction comes only in His presence and that we can see Him face to face.

God help me to remember that my satisfaction, my contentment, my peace come from being with You!  Not from my problems going away, or getting the answer I want to prayer.  

You are the One who gives joy, delight and peace in the midst of every possible situation.  That is not found anywhere else!  Lord, cause the counterfeits of these blessings to stand out to me for what they really are…lies and distractions from knowing You!
