Psalm 17:15
"As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness."
WOW, this verse is amazing. When we are righteous, we will "see Your face." But i think even bigger than that is the second portion...not until I awake in His likeness will I be satisfied... As Christians, we should not feel as though we've gotten where we need to be in our spiritual walk. Until heaven, we will achieve perfection which is the likeness of Christ. So every day, we should be striving to become more like Christ. We will not have satisfaction b/c we will never be at the place we should be while we are here on earth. It's funny, I was just thinking of a question that was asked of me once... Who do you think is the Christian more content with where they are at in his walk? The one who is complacent? or the one who is not comfortable with where they're at and striving to know God more? The complacent Christian is far more content with their walk with God. This is why they are not striving to go any further. The Christian who is daily reading, and pursuing the righteousness of God is not content with where He is with God and therefore is trying to learn more and more to become more like Christ. So, today I challenge myself, and hopefully you through that, not to be satisfied until you reach the likeness of Christ.
