When I was about fourteen years old my parents divorced.  This was very tragic for me as a young boy.  My life changed a lot from there on out.  I remember many times sitting and watching out the window of my room waiting for my father to come get me for his weekend visitation.  All too many times I sat there waiting and watching and finally went to bed because he did not show up.

It is so important for all who know Jesus Christ as their Saviour to be people of character.  Part of this is keeping our promises.  God keeps His promises.  His Word is full of His promises.  The Word of God has promises by the thousands.

As we look at the last verse of this chapter something caught me.  Look at 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.”  What caught my attention is the word “shall”.  In other words, it is a done deal.  God said it and that is it.  He is the Ultimate Promise Keeper.  If He were not then how would we know that we are truly going to Heaven?  We could not know for sure.  Thank God for His promises!  We need to be standing on the promises and quit just sitting on the premises.

So, how are you doing?
