I Shall Be Satisfied - Psalm 17:15
See All...
INTRODUCTION
One day very soon every born again child of God will leave behind his or her tabernacle, with all of its imperfections, and trade it for a glorified body that bears the likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is this truth that John so happily confessed in his first epistle when he said, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
See All...). All the heartaches and troubles of this world will instantly cease and man for the first time will truly be "satisfied" when he awakes with the likeness of the righteous Son of God (Psalm 17:15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
See All...; 1 Corinthians 15:49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

See All...)? - Has there ever been a time in this life when you have been perfectly satisfied? If so, how did that time relate to your relationship with God? How will your satisfaction come to full fruition when you awake in the presence and likeness of the Lord?
- Do you long to be like the Lord? Do you long to enter His presence? If not, why?
PRAYER NEEDS

- Ask the Lord to help you tell others of your hope.
