Wake: A Track or Path Left

 
 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
(Psalm 23:6 KJV)
 
 

 
 
The psalms are full of prayer language. The last verse of Psalm 23 has been following me around all week, begging to be mentioned today. One time a good friend of mine told me, that if she had two dogs, she would name them “mercy” and “goodness,” then mercy and goodness would be following her wherever she went.
 
This week as Psalm 23:6 kept hounding me, I wondered how often I leave mercy and goodness behind as I walk out the days of my life. I am not always successful, but God always covers up my tracks with His mercy and goodness. 
 
 
How about you?
What are you leaving in your wake?

Mercy Sunday


 

The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.

He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me the quiet waters by.
My soul he doth restore again; and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness, ev’n for his own name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear none ill:
For thou art with me; and thy rod and staff me comfort still.
My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me:
And in God’s house for evermore my dwelling-place shall be.

(Psalm 23, Scottish Psalter)

Mercy There Was Great

 
 
 
Answer me, Lord,
out of the goodness of your love;
in your great mercy turn to me.
(Psalm 69:16 NIV)
 
 
 
A bittersweet thought crossed my mind this morning as I pondered the above image: How would I spend this Lenten “honeymoon” with my Beloved, if I knew that He was facing certain death 26 days from today?
 
 
As we journey toward Calvary, how will I bear what Jesus was going through those last days on earth? Will I accompany Him to the cross, clinging to His side, hanging on His every word, pouring out my adoration and even mourning with tears at His feet?
