So the next time life smacks you in the face with a rubber chicken, remember: These scriptures aren’t old poetry—they’re weapons. They’re God’s way of saying, “I’ve got you, now get back up.”
And if all else fails, just read Psalm 23. It says, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” “Follow” is a soft word; in Hebrew, it also means “pursue.” That’s right—goodness and mercy are chasing you down the street like a happy dog. You can’t outrun God’s encouragement. So go ahead, sip your coffee, and laugh at Monday. You’ve got ancient backup.
