Divine satisfaction

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.
