I Brought my Help

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.

After everything David said in Psalm 23, he ends with "surely". It's simply a confirmation word letting us know that in our life we will walk through the valley of the shadow of death and have enemies, but when it's all said and done, surely goodness and mercy shall follow us. So you want to know why you can't give up and, even if your life isn't what you thought it would be, why have you still been making it, because goodness and mercy has been following you. When others have given up and when you got ready to throw in the towel, them 'boys, goodness and mercy would catch up with you and tell you it'll be ok!

The thing about it is, they don't show up until they are needed. They are following you. And, like a cop following a criminal, they know how to stay out of sight until they are needed. So, when they do show up, it's time to go into action. Not only do they follow you, they have a time limit on how long they can follow you; all the days of your life. Therefore, you can't lose them and they won't give up on you, because they will be with you all the days of your life. Even if you are worried about time after you leave this earth, David says, you will go to another home with no payments, because you will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

So, if life isn't what you thought it would be or should be, then keep living, because after awhile you will be moving up. If you don't have anything to thank Him for today, thank him for the fact that after awhile, when it's all over, I got a house........!!!! (The preacher in me just stood up!)
