I'm reading in Ps 23.6 this afternoon and struck by David's words at the end of this beloved psalm. "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life." How did David know that? He knew it because he was owned by the Great Shepherd; the one who made him lie down on green pastures; who led him beside quiet waters; who restored his soul. That Shepherd!
How can goodness and mercy NOT follow you all the days of your life when you have a shepherd like Yahweh? What else COULD follow you? This is our Great Shepherd; a shepherd of goodness and mercy at all times, in all ways, to his flock.
