The Psalmist knew where we are to look for our reward. He knew if we tried to find it in anything other than God, we would never find it. How often do we think, “If I only do this or get that, I’ll be satisfied?” When we place our affections on earthly things, we lose sight to see spiritually. It only goes down hill from there. Ultimately, God is our reward. When we place Him above all things, His presence delivers more than we can possibly fathom.
14 By the power of Your hand, O Lord,destroy those who look to this world for their reward.But satisfy the hunger of Your treasured ones.May their children have plenty,leaving an inheritance for their descendants.15 Because I am righteous, I will see You.When I awake, I will see You face to face and be satisfied.
Psalms 17:14-15
