Psalm 23:6 “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.“
Our Shepherd is most Wonderful. All He does toward us and for us is good – whether we understand it at the time or not. In Jeremiah 29:11, He tells us: ” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Not only do believers have the blessing of the Lord here, but also forever. Here we are often confronted with temptations and evil. We are not perfect, but groan for the day when we will be. Here, we see a portion of His goodness; there, we will understand and see the fulness of His goodness and blessing.
Here, sometimes it is hard to see His goodness because it can be clouded by uncertainty, doubt, and trouble. There will not be any of that in glory. It will be eternal joy to be in His presence and all enemies of good gone forever.
Hang on, Christian, it will be worth it all one day soon. He is coming back and His rewards will follow.
