His goodness and mercy follow you every day!

I remember years ago, a great evangelist shared in one of his messages: “I have two angels that follow me every day. One is called goodness, and one is called mercy.” He was alluding to Psalms 23:6. I don’t know if that was true, but one thing I do know, God’s word tells us that goodness and mercy follow us every day. That means that I can expect His goodness and mercy to show up when I need it, and believe me, I need His goodness and mercy every day! So remember His promise today, surely, in other words, guaranteed!!! Goodness and Mercy follow you every day!

Psalms 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life;

 

My cup overflows!

King David describes an amazing picture. He sees how God prepares a banquet table before him, anoints his head with oil, and causes his cup to run over. In the old days, honored guests in the Middle East would be anointed with oil that contained aromatic perfumes. Guests would also receive abundant cups of wine from their generous hosts. David saw God’s loving care of him in a similar way. He saw God’s provision as luxurious and generous. Today, God is still anointing His children will precious oil, and is causing our cups to overflow (His Holy Spirit overflowing in our lives). 

Psalms 23:5 (b)You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
