An American believer visiting England was taken to see the great royal coach used by the royal family on state occasions. In the back of the coach were two little seats. He was told they were seats for the royal footmen. The royal footmen walk along and follow the royal coach as it moves through the streets. Now, at that moment the visitor remembered the verse, "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life". He said to himself, "I have two footmen." If you belong to God then you have this royal privilege also. Wherever you go, goodness and mercy will follow you and will attend to your life. God's mercy and goodness will never fail you. You may not always feel them any more than a king is always aware of his footmen, but they're there. Even in your loneliest hours, you're never alone; the footmen of heaven are attending you. So as you journey through this life, rejoice and give thanks. You're being followed... by God's footmen. Goodness and loving kindness are at your side all the days of your life. That's a royal privilege.
