Psalm 23:6 (NLT) Surely your goodness and 
unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, 
and I will live in the house of the LORD 
forever. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Patterns of Blessing
   As he wrote the words of Psalm 23, David 
was able to look back on his life and say, 
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue 
me all the days of my life, and I will live in 
the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:6 
NLT). 
   In the same way, as we look back on our 
lives as Christians, we are able see a pattern of 
Gods blessing over the years. 
   As the results of sin catch up with those 
who have had no time for God, we find that 
Gods goodness and unfailing love have followed us 
all the days of our lives. 
   Of course, when were going through 
certain situations, we might not be able to see 
Gods goodness or mercy. We might even question 
Him on occasion. But as we look backward, 
were able to see Gods hand in a way that we 
perhaps could not see it before. 
   We see this illustrated in the tumultuous 
life of young Joseph, who had so many setbacks. 
Yet so many wonderful things happened in his 
life. And in the end, he said to his brothers who 
betrayed him, You intended to harm me, but God 
intended it all for good (Genesis 50:20 NLT). 
   Even if you have wandered from God, He 
will put goodness and mercy on your trail. The 
Bible says, Dont you see how wonderfully 
kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does 
this mean nothing to you? Cant you see that 
his kindness is intended to turn you from your 
sin? (Romans 2:4 NLT). 
   Maybe you havent walked as closely 
with the Lord as you ought to, and youre not 
happy doing what youre doing. Come back to the 
Shepherd. He loves you and will welcome you with His 
goodness and mercy. 
   And really, its the greatest life 
there is. Even if there wasnt a Heaven, the 
Christian life on earth alone is better than anything 
this world has to offer. But there is a Heaven. 
And it isnt an afterthought or a fringe 
benefit. Its our ultimate destination. 
   That is why we can say with David, And 
I will live in the house of the Lord 
forever. It is certain. Nothing is going to change 
that. And it has a way of putting everything else 
in perspective. 
   When the disciples were discouraged, 
stressed out, and afraid for their future, Jesus told 
them, Dont let your hearts be troubled. 
Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more 
than enough room in my Fathers home. If this 
were not so, would I have told you that I am 
going to prepare a place for you? When everything 
is ready, I will come and get you, so that you 
will always be with me where I am (John 14:1-3 
NLT). 
   Jesus is coming again. It may be in our 
lifetime. It could even be today. And ultimately as 
Christians, we all are going to go to Heaven. That is 
our great hope. [Greg Laurie from Harvest
