Have you ever stopped to wonder if God’s goodness is actually chasing you down even when it feels like everything else is falling apart? In this episode, we dig deep into the words of Psalm 23:6 and discover that “surely goodness and mercy shall follow me” means much more than just trailing behind. In the original Hebrew, “follow” describes a love that pursues you relentlessly, fiercely, the way an army hunts down a prize. It’s the same word used for tracking enemies, except here, it’s God’s kindness refusing to quit on you.
David wrote these words not from a place of comfort, but as a hunted man. He’d lost his palace, his position, and nearly everything that once defined his life. And yet, instead of being preoccupied by his enemies, he saw himself as being chased by the goodness and mercy of God. That one shift changed everything for him.
Maybe you’re walking through a dark valley right now. Maybe pain, loss, or uncertainty has been shadowing your steps. This episode is for you. We’ll talk honestly about what it means to see Christ, not just the chaos, to trust the Shepherd, not just fear the soldiers behind you. David’s story reminds us that God’s goodness isn’t seasonal or situational; it’s a daily pursuit, especially in our hardest seasons.
If you’ve ever struggled to believe that God could be for you, even when everything is against you, this conversation will open your eyes to a love that doesn’t stop at your failures, your doubts, or even your running. One listener said, “I never realized God’s goodness was hunting me down until I heard this, now I can’t unsee it in every situation.” That’s the kind of freedom and hope you’ll find here, too.
