Followed by God’s Goodness

Bible in a Year: Psalms 49-50, Romans 1

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
Psalm 23:6

Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 23

At my first job during my high school years, I worked at a women's clothing store where a female security guard dressed as a shopper followed women she thought might steal the merchandise. Certain people fit profiles of those the store owners thought were suspicious. Others not considered a threat were left alone. I've been profiled in stores myself and followed, an interesting experience since I still recognize the tactic.

In sharp contrast, David declared he was followed by a divine blessing—God's goodness and mercy. These two gifts always stay close, following him not with suspicion but real love. The "twin guardian angels," as evangelist Charles Spurgeon described the pair, follow believers closely during both bleak days and bright. "The dreary days of winter as well as the bright days of summer. Goodness supplies our needs, and mercy blots out our sins."

As a onetime shepherd, David understood this intentional pairing of goodness and mercy as it's provided by God. Other things could follow believers—fear, worry, temptation, doubts. But "surely," David declares with undoubting certainty, God's kind goodness and loving mercy follow us always.

As David rejoiced, "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" (Psalm 23:6). What an amazing gift to follow us home!

Reflect & Pray
How does being followed by God's goodness and mercy bless your life? How can you become more aware of this?

Dear God, thank You for following me with good intentions and two beautiful blessings, Your goodness and mercy.

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY
Open Heavens
for Friday, February 28, 2014
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More

Don't Lose Sight

...when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem...
Luke 2:45

We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine...More
