Psalms 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 for ever.
"He chases me"
Radaph is the Hebrew word for "follow"...it means to run after, hunt, pursue, chase.
Surely means certainly; infallibly, undoubtedly. Without doubt or question goodness and mercy chase after me everyday that I live. Good things, things I don't deserve, things I am unworthy to receive chase me and hunt me down each day.
The Lord's mercies forbear and forgive me constantly. He longs to give me mercy upon mercy. He loves to bless us, answer our prayers, help us, do whatever we need. He is a God that DOES. He is real. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He holds the world in his hand. He made all the galaxies. He's not worried about the weather, or who our next president will be, but he's concerned with YOUR well being. He wants to give you the BEST.
Take a second and think about that. God himself, his goodness, his mercies continually chase you. He personally chases YOU. Pursues YOU every single day. I'm no one special. I've been invisible my whole life. Often I get left out, overlooked and forgotten. When that happens it hurts! But I can say the Lord has never once left me out! He's never once denied me of his goodness or mercy. It was a glad day in my heart when I realized he didn't just die for the world but He died for me! He doesn't just care for the world but He cares for me. Me personally! I love when the Lord does something for a friend or loved one but it's extra special when he does something just for me!
He's got good things in store for those who trust him and love him above all. I don't know what kind of day you are having but remember goodness and mercy are following you even now! The goodness of God has your back!
