Hope For Today And An Even Brighter Tomorrow

by Justin Linscheid on January 28, 2023

“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."  Psalm 23:6

If the Lord is your Shepherd, your future is bright. The Lord is pursuing you with goodness and unfailing love and you have the secure hope of paradise with God to look forward to. The conclusion of this Psalm puts life into its proper perspective. Life has its highs, lows, ups, downs, but our future as Christians is inextinguishably bright.

Perhaps you have been dwelling in darkness and life has tasted bitter and left you wondering what God is up to. A verse like this reminds us that we can be sure that God is for us, relentless in HIs goodness and unending love. If the Lord is your Shepherd, this world is not your home. You have an eternal home that Jesus described as paradise. Despite the present challenges, something far better awaits you. This is God’s promise to you in Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:18, “Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later.”

In this world we can get caught up in the moment and lose sight of God’s goodness, unfailing love, and eternal plans for our lives. This loss of perspective can leave us feeling discontent and discouraged. Remember that the unchanging and unfailing truth is you have a God who is continually coming after you with His goodness and unfailing love. He invites you into His home to be with Him forever. There are brighter days ahead for us who call the Lord our Good Shepherd.
