Goodness Follows

You were never carrying it alone.

What are you carrying alone?

Scripture

(ESV) Psalm 23

23:1

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

23:2

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

23:3

He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

23:5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

23:6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

You were never carrying it alone. Goodness has been following you the whole way.
