READING AT PSALTER:

THE SECRET OF SATISFACTION.

1.  Starting the Day Beholding His Form (Psalm 17:15) May we make it a practice to make contact with You before we make contact with anyone else as we enter each day.

2. Satisfaction Comes from Moving Forward With a Steady Step (18:33) May we keep our loyalties focuses as we desire one thing and live for one thing, and that is to glorify You.

3. Satisfaction Comes by Seeing the Glory of the Lord (19:1) We are overawed by the miracle of Your greatness, but we revel in the joy that comes to us from the miracle of Your grace.

4. Satisfaction Comes by Obeying the Commandments of the Lord (19:8) We desire to obey Your laws and Your commandments, for they are designed to favor that which is favorable to us and bring out the best in us.

5. Satisfaction Comes by Operating Under the Banner of the Lord (20:5) May our hearts always be stirred when we think of Your precious and glorious name, and disturbed when Your name is slurred.

6. Satisfaction Comes by Being Reinforced with His Power ( 21:13) Keep our hearts receptive to the power You have provided, and responsive to the measures of power that is available.

7. Satisfaction Comes by Worshipping the Lord (22:29) You have the only secret for making life injoyable. In You there is complete satisfaction
