Pursuit – A mini devotional

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” Psalm 23:6

God is good, to be sure. He delights to do good to us, every day and night, all of our life. This is who He is, this is what He does.

The literal meaning of the word follow is pursue. His goodness and mercy pursue us all the days of our lives. This means that our great God is looking for ways to bless us, to show us goodness and mercy. He is eager to show us kindness

As much as we try to keep close to God, it is really Him that keeps close to us. He seeks us out and makes sure we stay near. He takes it upon Himself to pull us in to Him, to seek Him and find Him.

Our Lord doesn’t wait for us—He pursues us.

Oh our great Father, how thankful we are that You pursue us all the days of our lives. This is just how You are, and You will never change. We praise You!
