Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Through him we experience the goodness and love of God. Our Good Shepherd laid down his life for us. The precious blood of Jesus has washed us clean of sin’s dreadful guilt. We are free from the condemnation we deserved. Through Jesus our Savior, God looks on us with his favor and kindness. He gives us all manner of blessings and gifts flowing out of his heart of love for us.
When life gets difficult—even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death—our Good Shepherd is always with us. His unfailing love is our confidence every day and our hope for the future. For our Good Shepherd is leading us through this life and finally will take us to his heavenly home. Nothing will harm us there. God’s goodness and love will be unending. And the best part is that we will dwell with our Good Shepherd forever.
May this psalm serve as a reminder to faithfully follow your Savior. May it be a comfort to you throughout your life. May it still your soul in times of trouble, and give you confidence that through Jesus who is with you wherever you go, goodness and love with follow you all the days of your life. Lastly, may it fill your heart with the sure hope and future joy of living with the Lord forever.
Prayer:
Guide me, my Good Shepherd, to acknowledge and appreciate all your goodness and love. Lead me homeward through the darkness of this world to the everlasting day of heaven. Amen.Series of daily devotions are available for download purchase: Devotions on God’s Word
