FAITHFUL BLOGGERS - PSALMS 23:6

Psalm 23: 6 is the verse I choose from the Group Writing Project at www.faithfulbloggers.com.

Each of the words in this verse are powerful:

SURELY: For sure

GOODNESS: Good, not bad, not evil

MERCY: Undeserved favor, kindness

SHALL FOLLOW ME: Pursue me

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE: Past, present, future; 24/7; through joy or deep sorrow

I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD: Live in the presence of the Lord here on earth (knowing He is always with us) and ultimately live in Heaven.

FOREVER: Always, non-stop, eternally, without end

As I consider God's great goodness and undeserved mercy I think of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God's goodness and mercy is shown by His love when God sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to forgive us of our sins and give us eternal life. Anyone believing in Him, as the scripture declares, will receive eternal life.

This verse is assurance of the future - it is going to be unbelievably great.....a joyous feast......the future belongs to the children of God.
