Psalms 23
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
We're eternal beings living in a present day reality.
At some pt or the other other, we are all faced with this dilemma....balancing the long term, 'to come' hope, with our short term, present-day reality....it's a constant tug of war- do you know what I mean?
I like this verse for many reasons, but one of the reasons is because it paints a beautiful 'today' with an even more beautiful 'tomorrow'.
Today, as in this present life- goodness and love will follow me, you, us...everyday, for the rest of our lives!! and it's not just a possibility, its a 'surely'!!!
by tomorrow, i mean eternity...we're eternal beings, Ecc 3 says that God has placed eternity in the human heart. well this psalm addresses out eternal tomorrow as well: forever i will dwell in the house of the Lord!!
This is our promise, to have goodness and mercy following us today and all our our lives and to hold in our hearts that our dwelling will always be in the house of the lord. so live fully today, knowing that your tomorrows are established.
