The Lords Prayer 10

The Lords Prayer 10.

7. 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.

This is the faithful confession of a person who has experienced and come to understand in his walk with God, that He desires His goodness, that is, His Unmerited Favour and Blessings as well as His mercy, that is, His Forgiveness and Kindness, accompany His people constantly tor them to will perpetually dwell in His presence, in fellowship forever.

This revelation and confession can only come from a person who has a meaningful knowledge of the will of God and therefore relationship with His Word and His promised Holy Spirit, who is our comforter an guide.

God's goodness that keeps favourable situations and things coming our way so we are always encouraged in life and His mercy, which keeps us in His presence even though we have sinned, are the only provisions God Almighty has made available for us to ensure that we fellowship and therefore dwell in His house constantly, as is His purpose for our existence.

So God's people as a result of His unfailing character, should daily be expectant of God's goodness and mercy because He is a god who will always do what He says He would do, to ensure that the perpetual fellowship that He desires between Himself and His creation will endure for all time.

Let's keep in mind, confess and be confident of God's goodness and mercy that He desires will accompany us everywhere we go, to bring about the abundant life Jesus Christ purchased for us on the cross.

Shalom.
