Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life.
Ps 23:6
Sure, I know that, have for a long time - but I think it was in my head, not in my heart. While I was doing Beth Moore's DAVID Bible study God graciously decided to reveal Himself and plant that knowledge in my heart as well. We were studying the story of David and Mephibosheth with the point being David searched for a descendent of Jonathan to show kindess because of his love of his friend Jonathan. Mephibosheth did nothing to deserve this and because his grandfather was Saul, probably feared David.
I know that story, read it many times but God chose THIS time to show me David was a picture of Himself and Mephibosheth was a picture of me. All I can say is that it was God because I GOT it. He further reinforced this truth a few days later by directly intervening in my like to avert what I believe was a danger to me and my family.
This all happened about a month or so ago and since then I have been trying to view everything in my life through the lens that Gods love and mercy are following me everyday in every way. I have been practicing putting everyday events (read annoying, frustrating and fear-inducing) into the big picture of God's personal love pursuing me daily and they take on a different perspective.
