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

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever" (Ps. 23:6).

Our God is good (Ps. 86:5).

The will of God toward us is also good (Rom. 12:2).

God works all things together for good (8:28).

Because of God's good hand upon us (Neh. 2:8, 18),

His good will shall surely be accomplished on this earth.

Therefore, we must taste and see that the Lord is good (Ps. 34:8).

Because of God's goodness surely following us,

we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (23:6).

God is love (1 Jn. 4:8, 16).

God loved us before the foundation of the world (Jn. 17:24; Rom. 8:29; Eph. 1:4).

He chose us before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:4),

sent His only begotten Son into the world to give us eternal life (Jn. 3:16),

and confirmed His love for us by allowing Jesus to be crucified for our sins (Rom. 5:8).

Because of this love of God's salvation (His mercy),

Which surely follows us, we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Ps. 23:6).
