"Because I am righteous, I will see you.
When I awake, I will see you face to face and
be satisfied"
Psalm 17:15
For believers who's faith is in Christ Jesus, we are made righteous (Rom 4:4-8) which is amazing, that we are put right with God. But I really love this Psalm when it talks about living in righteousness, and we are awakened. Like the previous life was a dream. In David's instance (before he later screwed up in life) he was counted righteous.
Remember the old camp song "Row row row your boat"? The song says "Life is but a dream", this may be truer than we know, especially when we compare it when we meet the Lord face to face. Then we will be awake, everything will come alive, then we will be 'satisfied'.
The Rolling Stones sang "We can't get no satisfaction" no matter how hard they tried. But it the presence of God, when we see him face to face, we will have that satisfaction, we will be awake in the fullest sense, and all will be revealed to us. We all agree that in this world nothing makes sense, sin has distorted what God intended. It's like going to a circus and looking at a trick mirror and everything about us is distorted, and mixed up. But when we see the Lord, our eyes will of been opened we will be awake, we will be satisfied. What promise!! What Hope we have in Christ Jesus!
