OVERWHELMED OR OVERTAKEN

Psalm 23:6 KJV Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

If you’ve ever watched a film where the cops are in hot pursuit of the robbers it’s the same meaning as the way God’s goodness and mercy are ‘following’ us each and every day of our lives.😊 It’s like a fighter plane being in hot pursuit of its enemy in the sky till it overtakes it.

Our verse says, ‘Surely’ God has mercy and goodness for each of us. It’s for certain, no ifs and buts about it! I’m so grateful it’s not just now and then, or when God is having a good day, and it’s not based on our performance!

God has promised them to us every day, even when one thing after another seems to happen, even when it may not look like it. It’s at those times we need to stand up and tell the enemy to take his hands off us because he is a defeated foe, to stand and confess our trust is in our mighty God, that He is overtaking us with His goodness, His unfailing love, and His great grace and mercy.😊

When we know someone who is feeling overwhelmed by circumstances, we can join with them and stand against all the fiery darts of the enemy by encouraging each other to stand strong, to not grow weary because in due season they, and we, will reap a harvest. 

Don’t let’s judge the cricket match before the last innings is played! We are on the winning side and sometimes we have to enforce it by declaring it before we see it. 

Jesus is still the resurrection and the life and we can speak His life into situations, into our finances, our relationships, and know God’s goodness and mercy are actively overtaking us. 

Let’s not believe to be overwhelmed by the negative things in life, but believe we’re being overtaken by God’s goodness and mercy today and every day. In Jesus name. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x😊
