“Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:6).
There are two ways goodness and mercy follow us. The first refers to God’s work in our lives. All those things that are difficult for us to understand, all those times we wanted to give up but somehow the Spirit of God revived us, are demonstrations of his goodness and mercy to us. Through them we have learned to depend on his strength. We have understood what it means so trust. Goodness and mercy have followed our deep pain.
God’s gifts of sustaining mercy and goodness result in our showing mercy to others. Our acts of goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives.
And the glorious end of all our days of mercy and grace is to dwell in his house forever.
