What Is Following In Your Wake?

Psalm 23

23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of the Lord
Forever.

Verse six:  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life...When a boat moves through the water it leaves a wake behind it.   There are certain places in the lake that you cannot drive full throttle because of the wake.  Wakes make an impact.   It is the same way with our lives.  As we move through life our actions and reactions make a wake, ripples that touch the lives of  others.   When you pass through what wake are you leaving behind you.  David said in Psalm 23  goodness and mercy was following him.   What wake are you leaving behind you?   Is your community better  because you are there?  Is your place of employment better because you are there?  Is your family better because you are there. What is following in your wake?
