Mercy Follows You

Many things can happen to you on the path of life. Nevertheless, for those who trust the LORD, nothing will come your way that is beyond God's help. The reason is simple. Mercy follows you. Mercy follows you on the mountain and through the valley. Mercy is your constant companion when God is your Father.

Mercy is there for you when attacks come from an enemy. Mercy will defend you and comfort you. Mercy is there for you, if sickness snares you. Mercy brings God's power to deliver you and encourage you. Mercy is there for you, when you lose your way in life. Mercy brings wisdom to guide you and direct your path.

Mercy never follows you alone. Goodness follows you as well. As you are looking forward, two witnesses of God's love are right behind you. They have your back. Mercy follows you everyday and all the way. Goodness will walk in step, right behind your every step. Mercy follows you this very day. Goodness is never far away. 

Mercy is there when you fail God, as we all do at times. He will not condemn you, nor forsake you. Mercy will point you to the cross of Jesus. Mercy is there for you. Goodness will lead you to repent. Goodness and Mercy follow you, to put you back on the right path. Then you can say, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life" (Psalm 23:6).
