Psalms 23 !
Psalms 23.6 - Yes, happiness and grace will be with me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Here we are already at the end of this psalm of exceptional inspiration. David was the second king in Israel, he existed about ten centuries before Jesus Christ and already he was aware of profound things about life with God and eternity. He affirms his eternal destiny, he confesses his faith in the providence of the Eternal. Because he has a close relationship with the Good Shepherd, he knows that happiness will accompany him.
How many of us have this conviction : happiness will accompany me ? We are too often busy struggling with the difficulties of life and looking for solutions to our problems than to think about happiness. Either we are among those who have completely given up on moving forward. This is the time to remember which shepherd we follow, in whom we put our trust. All the days of my life, David tells us, I will go forward and happiness and grace will be with me. He goes on his way to the Father's house which is beyond life on this earth. A house that we will never leave again, a house full of God's love and power of life. Only hope and trust can give us this assurance. Many of our worries would drop if we knew who we are with the Lord and where we are going. The devil manages to make us doubt that God wants our good and he draws us out of the herd a little at a time to do us harm. Return to your shepherd today again, take the road to the house of the Father and happiness will accompany you.
Have a good day.
