  How do you wake up?
• 0:01
  Are you a grump or cheerful?
• 0:03
  Would you like to wake up joyful instead?
• 0:05
  “As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
• 0:09
  I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
• 0:12
  ” Psalm Chapter 17, verse 15.
• 0:15
  That one line,“I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness” speaks volumes of David’s love for God.
• 0:21
  Ask yourself, what will satisfy you?
• 0:24
  Many of us have desires of this world.
• 0:26
  I want that cute top from Nordstrom or that noise-free jacket from Sitka.
• 0:31
  Maybe a week on the beach?
• 0:33
  Maybe a house on the Pacific Coast?
• 0:35
  I can go on about the list of things that we think will satisfy us.
• 0:39
  But given that as Christians, we want joy, the ultimate satisfaction comes from being like Jesus.
• 0:45
  Having alignment with His will, being fulfilled by the God Almighty, who wants to fulfill us.
• 0:51
  As children we look up to our parents and think,“someday I will be as strong as dad” or “when I grow up I will be as beautiful as mom”.
• 0:59
  This is the same feeling that David’s psalm elicits in me.
• 1:03
  I want to be like my maker.
• 1:05
  I will be satisfied in becoming like Him.
• 1:07
  Imagine waking up one day and being content,knowing what God wants from us and walking in obedience.
• 1:14
  Loving our neighbors like Jesus did.
• 1:17
  Being joyful in the core so that situations and surroundings do not faze us.
• 1:22
  Strong in our likeness of our one true God.
• 1:25
  Dear Jesus, You are good to us, You lead us and mold us into the same goodness.
• 1:30
  Please let me align my will with Your will today and everyday,
• 1:33
  so that one day I can say,” I am satisfied that I am awake in Your likeness”.
• 1:39
  Amen!
