#811 Psalm 23 – Dwelling in God’s Eternity

Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In Psalm 23 we see David’s witness of his trust in God.  He uses vivid images from his life as a shepherd to describe a God who lives with His sheep caring, protecting, defending, guiding, and providing, all the while expressing an assurance that he belongs to his God.  This Psalm describes Jesus as our Shepherd-King, anticipating His role as our Good Shepherd.[1]  Observing the relationship of the shepherd and the sheep we see a powerful reminder of God’s love for His people, a love that sent His Son, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to earth to lay down His life for us, His sheep, on the cross.[2]  Genuinely accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior guarantees us we will be, like David, living in God’s goodness and mercy as well as in His constant presence for the length of days here on earth.  But living in His presence does not stop here on earth as we have His promise of a place in His presence for eternity.  Hallelujah!!

Make sure you are ready to dwell with God eternally in Heaven.  You can be sure if you have genuinely accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior.  If you have not done so or are not sure you have, take time right now to bow your head and ask Him to come into your heart as your personal Savior and Lord!

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:  and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”   (Psalm 23:6)

May God Richly Bless You Today
