Two promises for the future

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 23:6

Two promises for the future
We stand at the beginning of a new year, uncertain about what the coming weeks or months may hold. The future is not in our hands, but all of us who are believers in Christ have two firm assurances regarding the future:

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” This promise is for our earthly life. Every day, we are accompanied by God’s goodness. We continually experience His kind care, receiving what we need for our daily lives, and ensuring our spiritual well-being.
Additionally, we can count on divine mercy (or grace) every day. Having been saved from the penalty of our sins, we are in His favour and enjoy His benevolence. Whether the situation is simple or challenging, whether we are joyful or downtrodden, God is always with us.

“And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” This promise refers to the time after our earthly life ends. We are heading towards our eternal home with our God and Father in heaven. The Lord Jesus spoke about it in His farewell words: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would I have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:2–3).

Today’s reading: Exodus 4:1-17 · Luke 1:57-66
