WEEKLY DEVOTION

This week’s scripture: Psalm 17:1-7,15 NKJV 

"Behold the Face"

In Psalm 17, David is pleading with God for deliverance. He believes God should save him because of his innocence. David, in his prayer, starts with his heart. He asks God to look at the good things he has done that are upright. At this point in David's life, he has kept away from the desires of the flesh. He asks God to uphold his steps. Keep him on the right path.

We too can use the same prayer. However, we need to change it up and repent of the sins of the flesh. Then ask for God to uphold us on the path.

God always upholds justice for those who seek Him. God will always make righteousness win. But in our day, as well as in David's time, it does not look like it. There are those who are rich and arrogant, wicked men who seek to destroy you. What we need to remember is as David says, they are satisfied with the meager benefits of this world. Benefits that will disappear when they die.

But for us, there is a more glorious portion waiting for us. We will behold the face of God and live eternally in His presence.

David looks forward to the day beyond the grave. That is where we need to look as well. Beyond the grave to bask in the glory of God and behold His face.

Pastor David
