Ps 17 14bYou still the hunger of those you cherish;
their sons have plenty,
and they store up wealth for their children.
15 And I-in righteousness I will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness."
This Psalm is teaching that Gods elect think in the opposite way that they reasoned in their old lives. The elect live on Gods love and His righteousness.You see when we are saved we give up controlling our success. In other words all of our desires are used in order to be loved by God. We learn to use sin, failure, sorrow, or on the other side, joy, success, or our good works should be used as motivation to speak to God of His works. We must learn to react with passion on how all events in our lives relate to God.
In other words if our God is big and valuable then then we will be desperate enough to use our desires to please Him. The whole reason that Jesus lowered Himself , suffered, and worked the works of righteousness is because He wanted us to value that work by being successful in what we desire according to the value of His suffering that earned the freedom and success that we have through substitution.
The christian life is the only life where weakness and sinfulness is a an advantage. In our former lives weakness and sinfulness generated guilt, fear and failure. Since the christian life is turned upside down we give up control because strength and forgiveness come out of weakness and sin. This is why the Psalmist makes a clear difference between the wicked who react with violence because they trying to control their success. 10 They close up their callous hearts,and their mouths speak with arrogance.11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a great lion crouching in cover". A man who is born in sin does not have a substitute. He does not have a God who loves him in his his failure. In his world the only people who exist are the people who are related to him in his family and work. So he does not believe that he is accepted by substitution but work for reward.In that kind of state a man is motivated by guilt , fear, and sorrow.
This is why the Psalmist contrast the christian being motivated by love. Ps 17" 14You still the hunger of those you cherish;their sons have plenty," Its the alternation of 15 And I-in righteousness I will see your face. I can explain that we are able to create our christian experience by being free in speaking the law, which is an imperial pronouncement that unites the implanted law that is in us with the purpose to create Gods kingdom, the curses so that we can overcome all opposition, the covenants so that we can fulfill our desires according to Gods legal success, and the promises that preserve and lengthen our lives. These pronouncements are the way that we are renewed by conversion. The law constrains us by infusing wholeness and blessedness, the curses consume our anger that is the fuel for guilt , fear, and sorrow. and teach us the orthodox way to hate...hate is expressed in conviction and not emotion, the covenants to teach us to create the future by Gods word...the whole system of Gods justice is based upon the success of the works of His wonders, the promises so that we are looking for rewards on the basis of eternal value and not the returns in this life. This is the way that we experience freedom by giving up control of others. .
