The Legacy of God's Goodness and Mercy

The Psalmist, David, in the Book of Psalm 23, started out by unashamedly declaring that the Almighty God was his shepherd who will always provide for his needs. Therefore, verse 1 reads: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. But to expand on David's bold declaration, let's use the version of the Amplified Bible which reads: The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want. However, as we focus on verse 6 of Psalm 23, let's use a portion of the King James Version which reads: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And let us, also, examine David's testimony when he concluded with the emphatic words that there will be a legacy of God's goodness and mercy upon his life.
