Finally...
My cup runneth over...
It is a never ending supply of grace and blessings, so much so that our cup or storehouse cannot contain them.
It doesn't happen because of our heritage or senority in the church or our abilities or calling...God forbid that we ever begin to think that it is all about us. It is ONLY through His bountiful love and grace that we live and move and have our being.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me...
The twins, known as Goodness and Mercy, shall follow me...I imagine them running close behind, right on my heels, present at my every move.
I don't have to seek for them or plead for them or wonder if they are there...if I have the Holy Ghost abiding within, the fruit of this is goodness and mercy.
All the days of my life...
It never ends. When we don't feel like they are there, goodness and mercy keep on keeping on. When we make a mistake and feel as if we are God-forsaken, we can be assured that we are not, for goodness and mercy are ever present.
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord...
The words I will indicate that this is a conscious decision. We make a choice to dwell in His presence, not because of what we have done, but because of what HE did on the Cross. His Blood and grace appropriated to our lives, we gladly choose to receive it, not just for a moment or a day, or even a lifetime, but...
Forever...
Time without ending, eternally dwelling in the presence of the Good Shepherd...
