Note: In Meditation
posts, I will be sharing the lessons and insights I have personally gained from
studying and meditating on God’s Word. Please note that these are from my
personal viewpoint. I am aware that God may reveal many different insights to
different people from the same verse or passage. That is what makes the Bible
alive! So don’t stop searching for God’s own personal revelation to you.
Verse 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.
King David
closes this chapter by reiterating his security in the Lord and his joy at
having God as his shepherd. All through the psalm, David expresses how the Lord
cares for him, protects him, and provides for him. The Lord brings us to green
pastures and still waters. He restores our souls and leads us in the path of
righteousness. His grace covers us as we journey through times of trials and
danger, and He honors us. Surely His goodness and mercy will be with us all the
days of our lives. We will abide in Him, and He will abide with us, in the house of
the Lord forever.
This promise
that God’s Word presents to us is for the Lord’s sheep. Are we His sheep? Jesus
said, “My sheep hears my voice.” Are we hearing the Lord’s voice? Do we
listen to His teachings and commands? A shepherd’s sheep follow him faithfully
and trustingly. Are we the Lord’s sheep? Let us reflect on our lives and follow
Him.
As we walk with Him, may we remember that He is not just any
shepherd. He is the Good Shepherd.
Blessings,
