Dwell
Psalm 23:5-6 ESV
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
I imagine verse five for those imprisoned for their faith in the Lord as their Shepherd. As long as they have memorised God's word, they can sustain themselves in the midst of a dark situation. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit: with him upholding us, we can endure.
Believers in Jesus aren't even just cup half full kind of people. Followers of Christ are cup overflowing kind of people. He blessed us with every spiritual blessing, we lack no good thing.
God, in his goodness and mercy, doesn't give up on us half way to glory. His goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives. God doesn't take a day off from looking after us.
If we trust in the Lord, we have a glorious eternity to look forward to. We will dwell in his house forever. We will be with our Saviour forever.
'Lover of our souls, please carry us through to be with you in glory, for your name's sake we pray, amen'.
