Psalm 23:6 - “Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.”

Like goodness, God’s unfailing love follows us in life. King David says it pursues us! Picture a parent following a little kid around and picking up after the child. When we’re struggling with hurts, habits, and hang-ups, God comes right alongside us, helping to pick up our messes and telling us that his unfailing love is always there.

This means that, rather than entering the future with a question mark, you can do it with an exclamation point! God will be with you no matter what happens. He will help you.

Remember this: God’s goodness will provide and protect. God’s mercy (unfailing love) will pardon and forgive. God’s goodness will supply. God’s mercy will soothe. God’s goodness will help. God’s mercy and love will heal.  You can count on it!

What does it mean to you to enter the future with an exclamation point? How can you share with others about God’s goodness to you and his same offer to them?
(Taken from Rick Warren’s daily devotional.)

Today, let’s thank the Lord that we can/are living in his house now and forever because of his invitation, because of who he is. With the Holy Spirit, let’s depend on our Lord’s goodness and unfailing love, instead of ourselves. Let our confidence in him grow.
