Psalm 17 - The True Goal and Reward of Life

In this episode we look at Psalm 17, which is a profound exploration of the ultimate purpose and reward of a spiritual life. The central thesis asserts that the "true goal" of life is to know God, and the "true reward" is to one day see Him. 

It is a s a model of fervent, transparent prayer and an earnest plea for divine justice and intervention.  

 Listen as we extract the key themes, which includes the necessity of aligning one's life with God's will, the inevitability of persecution and betrayal for the faithful, and the absolute sovereignty and protective nature of God.  

This Psalm also depicts how Jealousy & Envy causes internal decay, and impacts a person’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being by fostering a destructive mindset, that diminishes life and joy. 

Ultimately, the psalm serves as a guide for developing unwavering faith, seeking divine protection, and finding ultimate satisfaction in a direct relationship with God.
