Ps 143 1
O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my
cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my
relief.
God
has created the world according to His righteousness and faithfulness.
He has created all things by the word of His mouth. We could say that
all reality is ordered by God according to His word. In our relationship
with God everything that we experience has been order according to His
righteousness and faithfulness by His spoken word from eternity past. So
the events that we go through are communicated to us in Gods perfect
description of His attributes that give us a holistic experience in this
life. We must understand that God creates the experience in His word
without us necessarily relying on the event itself. We are who we think
we are . Our circumstances do not define who we
God
not only has made the physical things but He has defined the reality of
those things. This is why we have a partial revelation from God. In this sense we have
a limited understanding of the events in our lives. The Psalms are Gods
revealed knowledge that satisfies our desires by speaking in the simple
way that God has ordered His creation in which the mysterious work that
is communicated by God in His attributes consumes our corrupted
attributes.
This
is what the Psalmist is praying here. "Relief "is simply satisfaction.
"Or satisfy my desires both physical and spiritual." In the Psalmist
mind God has spoken everything into existence so that He is completely
satisfied with His work but the Psalmist finds Himself with limited
knowledge and great opposition. Because God has given us His perfect way
that He communicates this order...In His commands, laws, decrees, promises, covenants and statutes , He has created the reality of satisfaction in describing everything that the Psalmist goes through. The problem is that the Psalmist is corrupted and cannot continual experience this communication in a natural way. The Psalmist must rise in His meditation to experience the description of reality rather than try to understand it by what he can taste, feel, touch and see. This is what we call seeing through the eyes of faith.
But not only must the Psalmist know through this Divine communication that everything is working according to Gods plan but the Psalmist must also feel the eternal varieties of this Divine order. This perfect revelation contains these words spoken in the desires of the Perfect man. Not only has God established the reality of the Perfect man through His spoken word but He has answered every desire that we have by consuming our desires so that we experience divine satisfaction.
