Satisfied in God, Psalm 17
Satisfied in God (Psalm 17)
In this episode, Ben Smith preaches from Psalm 17 on the theme Satisfied in God, exploring where true peace and security are found when believers face opposition, false accusations, and suffering. David’s prayer reveals a heart that refuses to seek vindication from the world and instead entrusts his case to the righteous judgment of God. Rather than being consumed by fear or injustice, David models a life anchored in obedience, prayer, and confidence in God’s covenant love.
The sermon unfolds three biblical principles for keeping our attention on the Lord in times of crisis: being ruled by God’s righteousness, seeking refuge in God alone, and rejoicing in God’s provision. The message culminates in David’s decisive confession, “As for me,” declaring satisfaction not in prosperity or power, but in the presence of God Himself. This episode calls believers to find lasting peace—not by escaping suffering, but by being satisfied in God alone, confident in His protection, providence, and final vindication.
