Psalm 23 - The Lord Is
Tuesday, January 30, 2024
Goodness & Mercy
PSALM 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of The Lord forever.
What is the goodness of God? His lovingkindness, HIs choice to bless His faithful people. The goodness of God is every blessing, every "good and perfect gift" which He provides for us when we seek Him out to spend time with Him.
What is the mercy of God? His unconditional pure love. This love sent Jesus to the cross to die for you and I. This love of God is for anyone who wants to be loved by God in God's Way. This mercy of God extends "to a thousand generations". It is sought after by they who are hungry for The Truth of God's Word. It is longed for by they who seek to be comforted by God's Word.
God's goodness and mercy follow me closely, like our shadow. Wherever the sun shines, we have a shadow, right? So wherever The Son-shine takes us, God's favor goes with us. And it will not leave us when we die: we will dwell -- live completely and wholly holy in Him -- in God's house forever, without end.
All of God's promises are Faithful and True. And I'm clinging to this one daily.

1 Peter 2:9, 10
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own peculiar people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
What is in this house in which we will dwell forever? The holy presence of God. We don't need anything else but Him, God in all His glory and light.

Psalm 23 As Read To Another
Sunday, March 28, 2021
You Are My Rest
As I was trying to fall asleep and get some actual rest, I failed. And the Lord said, "Why are you trying so hard on your own? Don't you know that I am your Rest?" The Word is my Rest. So first he led me to Matthew 11:28 - "Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, And I will give you rest." Then He led me to
You, Lord, are my Shepherd;
I lack for nothing.
