Sermon Notes Notebook Goodness and Mercy

Psalm 23, attributed to King David, is one of the most beloved and well-known passages in the Bible. It is a psalm of trust and confidence in
God’s providential care. David, who began his life as a shepherd, uses the imagery of a shepherd’s care for his sheep to describe the Lord’s guidance and protection over His people. Psalm 23:6 concludes this beautiful psalm with the reassuring words: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Deep Biblical Understanding:

The phrase “goodness and mercy” encapsulates the essence of God’s character. The Hebrew word for “goodness” (tov) refers to that which is pleasant, joyful, and beneficial. It reflects God’s benevolent nature and His desire to bestow blessings upon His people. The word for “mercy” (hesed) is often translated as “steadfast love” or “lovingkindness.” It signifies God’s enduring, covenantal love that is unwavering and unfailing.

When David declares that these qualities “shall follow me all the days of my life,” he speaks of a divine pursuit. The Hebrew word used for “follow” (radaph) can also mean “pursue” or “chase after.” This suggests that God’s goodness and mercy are actively pursuing the believer, ensuring that they are never outside the reach of His love and grace.

David’s assertion that he will “dwell in the house of the Lord forever” signifies a deep, intimate relationship with God that transcends earthly
circumstances.

Encouragement and Reflection:

The "Surely Goodness and Mercy Shall Follow Me All The Days of My Life" design serves as a daily reminder of God’s unwavering commitment to His people. It encourages believers to trust in God’s constant presence and His active involvement in their lives. This assurance brings peace and confidence, knowing that no matter what challenges or trials we face, God’s goodness and mercy are pursuing us all the days of our life.
