Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

Surely. Definitely. Beyond a shadow of doubt. Positively positive. Surely,
a promise made by the Lord Himself. The Lord says goodness and mercy shall
follow me.

Goodness: good things which we don't deserve. The glory of God Almighty.
What Jesus had sacrificed to give. Something which we don't work for.
Blessings. A grace gift.

Mercy: punishment which we deserve but will never come to us for Jesus had
bore all our punishment. Receiving good things which we don't deserve. God'
grace. God's loving kindness. Another grace gift.

The bible says surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life. One translation says goodness and mercy will haunt me down. They will
make sure I will always have the good things in life. They will make sure
things that Jesus has paid for will come to my life. They will make sure
things which Jesus has borne will not come near me.

What then are the good things which Jesus has paid for? It is the blessing
of Abraham. Prosperity for the soul and health. Financial prosperity. Most
importantly, it is sonship with Abba Father. It is just too numerous to
individually name all the blessings that God has for us!

What then are things which should happen to us but Jesus has borne them
all? Cursings under the law, ill health, financial lack, broken
relationship, terminal diseases, bondage, just to name a few. Praise God
Jesus had taken the punishment for our transgression and iniquities that we
shall be healthy and wealthy.

Surely goodness and mercy SHALL follow me all the days of my life. Shall:
certainly, will. Praise God He put goodness and mercy before all the days
of my life! When God said He will let His goodness passed over Moses after
he had asked God to show him His glory, Moses saw the back side of God.
Hallelujah! Could this be that goodness is referring to Jesus Himself? I
think so. The bible also says that God is full of mercy: meaning Jesus is
mercy as well! Praise God, surely Jesus will haunt me down all the days of
my life!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever! He who dwells in the
secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Wow! In the house of the Lord there is peace, joy and unending feast. In
the house of the Lord there is love, comfort and everlasting protection.
Praise God I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever!

Forever: forever, eternally. God is not referring to my mansion in heaven,
He is referring to His church. For in the church there is where the
beloveds of the Lord feast on the word of God. For in the church there is
safety. For in the church, Jesus is been revealed through the preaching and
teaching of God's anointed leader.

Just look to Jesus. He is the living word of God. When I go after Jesus,
all good things come after me for all good things go after Jesus!
