An email daily devotional from Jeff White. It is a  familar verse from the 23rd Psalm. In Jeff's comments, he mentions "obey"; the word we tend not to like to hear. One of the dictionary definitons of obey is "to hear, to listen". God simply wants us to obey by hearing and listening to what He has to say:
 

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 nkjv

 

     What a surprising way to describe God. A God who pursues us.  Our God follows us  every step of the way during every minute of every day.

     Does it change your vision of God to know that it is not what we must do, but what he does.  He pursues, he gives grace, he made the sacrifice...and we?  We must only obey and accept.
