Mercy is not for them that sin and fear not, but for them that fear and sin not. –Watson
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23:6
David proclaimed goodness and mercy would follow him not just for a day or two. Not for a week. Not only for a year. He said goodness and mercy would follow him, all the days of his life! But my question is why? Why would goodness and mercy follow David? What makes David so special? I believe you have to go back to verse one where David said, “The LORD is my shepherd…”
Just as a shepherd will take care of his sheep, The LORD will take care of His children! He will guide them, cherish them, love them, He will mend their wounds, and He will save them from the enemy! Goodness and mercy follows us for the same reason it follows David; The LORD is our Shepherd!
