Psalm 23 cont’d and ended:
…and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
If you never read another chapter in the Bible,
there’s enough in this one psalm to sustain you…well…forever.
Not only has the Shepherd provided all we need,
kept us from falling off a cliff, prepared a table with enemies all around,
chased us down with his goodness and mercy, but now….
He tells us that we can live with him forever.
Forever is a long time.
God, the Good Shepherd, isn’t like any earthly
person we’ve ever met or will meet. He will
not turn us away when we get home past curfew.
He won’t lock us out when the rent isn’t paid. And he will not shun us
when we mess up.
His son took upon himself all the shame, the
pain, and the sin that ever was and will be, and took it all from us.
This is why we can dwell – live – thrive – in the
house of the Lord.
And nothing can change that.
Surely, it’s all so.
Follow his lead…wherever he takes you…
