Today’s blog
post is contributed by David Trotta:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life. (Psalm 23:6)
Did you ever see the character from the Li’l Abner comic strip who always had a rain cloud
following him wherever he went? It’s
easy to laugh at a cartoon depiction like that, but in reality, many Christians
go through life thinking a dark cloud is following them.
We focus on our difficulties and
hardships instead of the promises of God.
One such promise is David’s
declaration in Psalm 23 that God’s goodness and mercy shall follow us all the
days of our lives. They are our constant
companions.
God promises to never leave us or
forsake us and neither does His goodness and mercy. In the midst of painful and challenging
seasons, our lives are wrapped in God’s goodness and mercy.
During those times, it may be hard to
see His fingerprints, but rest assured, His hand
is all over us.
The next time you are tempted to
focus on the circumstances of life, take a look over your shoulder. If you look long enough, you are sure to see
God’s goodness and mercy following you.
They are your constant
companions. That’s God’s promise.
