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*

What is chasing after you?
In our verse today, David was known as a man after God’s own heart. Murume aidokwaira kutsvaga Mwari nemoyo wake wese. So what kind of attitude did he have? *Psalm 23,* arikutsanangura zvimwe zvacho anoti, “Goodness and mercy are following me.” David airarama life yake achitarisira kubva kuna Jehovha. Haana kuvimba nemunhu asi akaziva kuti Jehovha ndiye mufudzi wake uye ndiyezve muridzi wevanhu. So in everything in his life he was looking unto Jesus. Munhu aizouya atumwa nedenga asi iye akatarisa kudenga. This was what Ruth meant paakati i will follow you and your God will be my God. Aiziva kuti pane zvinotevera vana vechi Judah nokuda kwaMwari wavo. Zvakamupa simba rekutevera Naomi and true to God’s promises goodness and mercy followed her.
For this God does not sleep nor slumber, He looks after His own. One translation inoti, “God’s kindness chases me everywhere that I go.” New Living Translation inoti " pursues me". David’s attitude was always “something good is going to happen to me". Aisararama life yekupatikira, he was at peace achiziva kuti pane zviri kunditevera. Pese paaienda he knew kuti God’s blessings are chasing him. Musango achitiza Saul, pamwe pacho achitiza Absalom, Ahitophel achimupandukira he was looking at the mercy following him. Ndosaka aisa fighter back, because he did not set his eyes on his enemies but on what was chasing him. No wonder he saw God’s goodness. No wonder he overcame his obstacles and accomplished great dreams. He knew good things were chasing after him. Like David during his time, after it was finished at the cross, today the goodness and mercy of the Lord are following us. With every battle coming against you, there is goodness and mercy following you. Chakagonekwa nasatan ku maker shuwa kuti he make you fix your eyes on your problem or situation and miss the goodness and mercy. Ndopaunonzwa munhu achiti dai Mwari vandirangarira yet nyasha nengoni zvitori kukutevera.
Chinja kwawakatarisa, you will see His goodness and you will prosper in the land of the living. You will be debt free, no failure, no mediocrity, no defeat, no lack. You are a child of the Most High God. You have been crowned with favor. You have been redeemed from every curse. God has set you apart as His own special treasure. Saka ukatarisa pa rearview mirror rako, you’d see a trailer behind you.There’s something pursuing you at a high rate of speed. Those are blessings, favor, supernatural opportunities, restoration, divine connections—God’s goodness and mercy following you all the days of your life. You are not blocked from recieving them, you are also included. So before you complain and lose hope in circumstances surrounding you, thank Him for His abundant grace and mercy. Today look for Your goodness. Look for Your favor and blessings. Set your heart on Him. In.Jesus name. *AMEN*
