The Cross & Psalm 23 Part 6 "I Have Extreme Security"

Psalm 23:6
"Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever"
  • denotes extreme security; tranquility and confidence

Romans 8:28

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them"

  • "No matter what happens I can trust the Good Shepherd to work all things for my good"

(Life in the Spirit Study Bible Comm)

  • goodness: it ranges from the practical, economic, or material good to the abstract good-that which is beautiful, good, excellent, lovely, joyful/happy, pleasant, or fruitful
  • love: denotes an act of kindness, love or mercy; though man may prove to be unfaithful, God's love is everlasting

Because the "Lord is my Shepherd":

  1. I will lack nothing !
  2. I will end up in a beautiful place !
  3. My life will be restored !
  4. I will spend time in the valley !
  5. My battle is the Lord's !
  6. I have absolute and extreme security !
