Dwelling In The Lord's House

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."  Psalm 23:6.  Christ as the Shepherd leads us into the house of the Lord.  Follow Him and the Lord's house will be our dwelling.  The psalmist speaks with conviction.  He has assurance that goodness and mercy will follow him throughout his life.  Do we not need God's goodness and His mercy?  Is the dwelling of the Lord's house our desire?  Then, we must follow the Christ.  We must listen to His word and be directed by His wisdom.  In His word, He speaks to our heart.  His word is a safe guide which provides the richest blessings.  His will directs us to the most majestic dwelling--the Lord's house.  Nothing must prevent us from dwelling forever in His house where His goodness and mercy are found.  The psalmist had made a choice about where he would dwell.  We must make the same choice.  No one makes that choice for us.  We decide whom we will follow and where we will dwell.
