God’s Goodness Pursues Us
Share
One of the most well-known Psalms contains a treasure of information about how we can rest with our Lord who is our Shepherd. He restores us, guides us, and protects us. Psalm 23 is a comfort to us throughout life. One of the most beautiful encouragements is found within Psalm 23:6, which tells us that God’s goodness pursues us. Today we are going to study more about this sweet concept of the Lord’s love for us.
God’s goodness is His continual blessings of His Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives. His watchful eye on all of His children. His faithfulness to always hear our prayers. His gift of community and pursuit of us through other believers.
When we think about the ways that the Lord has pursued others with His goodness, it is encouraging, but what about our own lives? How has God sought after you in your lifetime? What has it been like to have a constant and steady Savior who never leaves or forsake, but always loves and follows us? Below are some questions to reflect on as we thank God for His persistent love for us, even on our worst days.
1. How has God pursued you with His gift of salvation? Have you received this gift? If not, what is stopping you from accepting Jesus’ sacrifice today?
2. How have you seen the faithfulness and consistency of Christ in your life even when you have not been perfect?
3. What are some ways that you have encountered wonderful goodness from God? (Maybe through spiritual strength, blessings, impactful people, etc.)
4. How can you tell of God’s goodness in your life to others? Who is someone specific in your life with whom you can share the love of Jesus?
5. Spend some time thanking the Lord in prayer for His sweet pursuit to constantly seek after you with His goodness, mercy, and love.
