Psa 17:14-15 Resurrection

Psa 17:14-15 KJV
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Men of the world strive to fill their bellies and to leave their wealth to their children. However David hoped to behold the Lord's face in righteousness when he was resurrected being transformed in the Lord's likeness.

What do I hope for?

Lord, As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Psalms 52 - I trust in the mercy of God

Psa 52:7-8 KJV - Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

What do I trust? David trusted in the mercy of God. The mighty man trusted in the abundance of his riches. 


Lord, Let me make you my strength. Let me trust in your mercy for ever and ever.

2Sm 6:20

2Sm 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

David danced before the Lord but Michal saw him dance uncovering himself before the handmaids.

When I see someone, do I see the Lord working in him?

2Sm 6:14 before the Lord

2Sm 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all)) his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

What can't I do before the Lord except sinning? Like a child to please his parents, I can sing and dance. David however did it with all his might. Let me glorify the Lord with all my might.

1Sm 30:6 Distressed & Encouraged

1Sm 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

When David was distressed and the situation turned worse for him, he encouraged himself in the Lord his God. Distressed, one should not wait for others to cheer him up but should encourage himself in the Lord his God.

1Sm 23:16 a true brother

1Sm 23:16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

A true brother to me is someone who strengthens my hand in God. To whom have I been a true brother?

1Sm 16:7 The Lord Looketh on the Heart

1Sm 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

1Sm 15:29 Strength of Israel

1Sm 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

God is the Strength of Israel.

1Sm 15:22 To obey is better than sacrifice

1Sm 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
