Series | The Promises of God
Scripture | 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.”
Lesson 11 | The Promise of Love
Psalm 23 is probably
the most famous Psalm in the entire world.
We all know how it starts out, “The
Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”
However, most people by the time they get to the end simply recite the
words without really understanding them or the promise they bring.
Today’s passage from
Psalm 23 David proclaims, “Surely
goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.” Therefore, take just a few moments to hear
the wonderful promise that God is giving all His sheep today. He is promising that no matter where you go,
goodness and love will follow you.
In other words, you
cannot out run His love or get so lost that love can’t find you. Today, you have a powerful promise from your
Shepherd that He will always love you and give you the goodness of His
will. You will never face a time in life
where God’s love is not present.
Paul went on in the
New Testament to say the following about God and His love for you in Romans
8:38-39, “38 For I am convinced that
neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the
future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.”
As a result, believe
and receive the great love that God has for you. He promised that His love is with you right
now- it followed you from the time you woke up this morning!
