 Psalm 23:6 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. The word picture meaning for "shall follow" is "to open the highest way of life".
The key that opens the highest way of life is the goodness and mercy of God. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Blessings!!!

 Psalm 23:6 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. The word picture for "mercy" is "door of protection".
This word becomes even more powerful when we realise that the word picture for "grace" is "to fence or protect life". In the act of accepting God's mercy (door of protection) we step into His grace (fence that protects life). May you enter into the fullness of the mercy of God today and dwell in the protection of His grace. Blessings!!  Psalm 23:6 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. The word picture behind "goodness" is "surrounds and is inside".
Effectively "goodness" is about no deception, being the same inside and out. Sadly, we live in a cynical world that believes everyone has an agenda to deceive or trick. Yet it is a world that is hungering for the goodness of God, to experience a relationship where there is no deception. Let the goodness of God cover all your relationships today. Blessings!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over The word picture for "runs over" is 'a deed done to reveal, make secure the highest".
As usual the question is the highest what? The answer: the highest purpose. What if it is God's desire for you is to live everyday of your life saturated with your unique God given purpose? If you do, those around you will end up getting splashed with the glory of God that is saturating you. Blessings!!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. The word picture behind "cup" is "open hand to secure support".
God asked Moses the question: "What do you have in your hand?" What do you have in your hands? Could it be the Word of life which will give security and comfort to those around you today? 1John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life Blessings!!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. The word picture behind "oil" is "life to consume, like water down a stream".
Oil also symbolises the person of the Holy Spirit. He longs to come like water down a stream to totally consume your life. Ephesians 5:18 Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, Let the chaos (wine) of your day to day life be put aside and allow the Holy Spirit to fill (consume) you like water down a stream. Blessings!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. The word picture for "head" is "see the fire, chief fire".
The word picture for "blessed" is "fire on the head, chief fire". Act 2:2 & 3 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. May many experience the fire (blessings) of the Holy Spirit resting upon your head today. Blessings!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. The picture meaning behind "anoint" is "go in, to consume life".
John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. What is on the menu at God's banqueting table? Abundant life!!! Allow the Father to anoint you afresh with His abundant life today. Blessings!!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. The picture behind "in the presence of my enemies" is "the hooked man".
Often our greatest enemy is our own thoughts. We are hooked by our thoughts (silent balance of chaos). Today may you be hooked by the voice of the Good Shepherd rather than the chaos of your own thoughts. Blessings!!  Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. The picture for the word "before" is "to speak life, to work support".
When God declared "let there be light" He used a single Hebrew word: ow'r. This word sounds like the roar of a lion and I have literally seen the release of life and support as this word has been declared over a person. Hear the roar of the Lion of Judah "before" you as He declares "let there be light (purpose)" over your life today. Blessings!! |
