How do we know God's goodness and mercy follow us?

David confidently asserts in Psalm 23:6, 'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.' This statement reflects a profound trust in God's character and His promises. Believers experience God's goodness in their daily lives, even amid trials and suffering, because He works all things for their good, as affirmed in Romans 8:28. This mercy is evident in God's grace, forgiveness, and love toward His people, even when they face difficult circumstances, offering them comfort that nothing can separate them from His care.
