The Good Life

David understood what “the good life” really was. He knew it had nothing to do with wealth, position, or power. It has everything to do with a real relationship with a loving God. Long before David enjoyed life in the palace, he had experienced the goodness of God out in the fields tending the family sheep. As he was doing his best to be a good shepherd, his heart was at peace knowing that he was under the watchful eye and loving care of the Great Shepherd. 

These early lessons about the goodness of God would serve as a source of faith and strength for David’s entire life. When he needed courage, God was there. When he needed wisdom, God was there. When he needed forgiveness, God was there. When he needed hope, God was there. The Great Shepherd was always there for David and He is always there for you!

Read through this Psalm again, making a mental list of all the ways the Great Shepherd is good to you. Meditate on His goodness. One by one, thank Him for all the wonderful ways He demonstrates His goodness towards you.
