“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.”Psalms 23:6 NLT
King David wrote this psalm. For many years he was chased by king Saul who sought to kill him. Saul was driven by an evil spirit. He was insane with jealousy and fear as God had raised David, and Saul could see he had been replaced in the spiritual world of not in the natural. Saul wanted his son Jonathan to reign after him, however, Johnathan recognised God’s hand on David and acknowledged it.
Now, for David to write: ‘surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me’ took faith. Faith sees what the natural world fails to recognise. Jonathan recognised it, he was divinely inspired. Jonathan could do this because he loved David. Love enables us to see what we would otherwise be blinded from seeing.Saul hated David and thus he could not see. God had removed His hand from Saul and he knew it, the people recognised God’s hand on David. Saul was alone in his jealousy.
May we see God’s hand on our lives, His love and faithfulness and call it what it is, rather than living in fear. Amen!
