Followed By Mercy

Have you ever felt far from God, like you’ve wandered too far to find your way back? In this episode, we step into David’s story in Psalm 23 and discover something beautiful: God hasn’t been waiting for us to return. He’s been chasing us all along with His goodness and mercy.


We’ll explore how David moved from spiritual drought to the deep confidence that he would dwell in God’s house forever. The Hebrew text reveals a breathtaking truth: when Scripture says, “goodness and mercy shall follow me,” it isn’t a casual trailing behind; it’s an aggressive pursuit. God’s love doesn’t wait at a distance. It runs after us.


Like the father who ran to embrace his prodigal son, God welcomes us home without conditions, without probation, without second-class status. We don’t live as visitors in His house, but as children who belong.


When we understand this, everything changes. We stop striving to live for God and begin resting in the truth that God lives in us. Fear loses its grip when we know our eternal home is secure. Gratitude rises naturally when we realize His mercy has been chasing us our entire lives.


If you’re weary, wandering, or just longing for deeper connection with Him, this message will remind you of the heart of the gospel: You don’t have to run anymore. Your Shepherd has been pursuing you with relentless love. It’s time to come home.
