This past Sunday, Tullian preached on Psalm 23 as a part of his series, “A Song for All Seasons.”
His sermon focused primarily on Psalm 23:6, where David writes: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Many Bible scholars and commentators have pointed out that the word “follow” in that verse is a weak translation of what the Hebrew word truly means. It doesn’t simply mean to follow. It means to pursue, to hunt down, to chase. It’s not just that God’s goodness and mercy follow us all of our days, watching us from a safe distance.
No.
They harass us, they dog us, they persistently pursue us.
All the days of our lives, we are pursued by God’s mercy, chased by God’s grace, hunted by God’s goodness—harassed by God’s love.
We hope this message encourages you massively…
