With a head bowed in repentance, bring your prayer to the Lord, and allow His mercy and forgiveness to cover you. So today if your mind brings you back to places where you have stumbled in the past, remember goodness and mercy are following you. God’s goodness and mercy along with our response to His Son wipes all our sins away. The Hebrew word for “mercy” in Psalm 23, chesed, means “the unfailing, steadfast covenant love of God.” It’s hard to read that definition and not soak in a greater meaning: the innate goodness of God coupled with His covenant love displayed in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Similar to sheepdogs guarding a herd, goodness and mercy walk shoulder to shoulder watching out for us and protecting us from the pitfalls and antagonists in our own lives. In Psalm 23:6 we read, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me.” In this Psalm about the Good Shepherd, goodness and mercy have often been likened to the sheepdogs that follow at the rear of a herd. We say or do things we are embarrassed or frustrated by-often leaving ourselves or others injured in one way or another. My personal clumsiness aside, can you relate? As humans we tend to trip up-whether it be losing our cool when we are pushed to our limit, speaking out of turn, or trying to overcome sin issues. And one thing is for sure: every trip-past and present-has left me feeling either embarrassed or frustrated and sometimes injured. It seems there is always something or someone underfoot. Thankfully, sidewalks don’t trip me up these days as much as they used to, but five other things do: my three young children and two tiny Havanese pups. The sidewalk would tragically change shape while I was in the middle of my stride, my foot would catch it, my ankle would turn, and I’d find myself trying to recover as fast as my tall frame could manage. In my college years, it seemed to only happen when I was walking near someone I was trying to impress. In my youth it was the uneven sidewalk or the sunken hole hidden in thick grass. Full disclosure: I’ve been known to trip.
