We are reminded of Jesus, as we come to the table of grace to seek his mercy. Such is seen with King David. King David asked rightly “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” So Ziba, a servant from the household of Saul. THE KING is always looking to show kindness to us. Thats the heart of the king of king towards his people.
Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”
4 “Where is he?” the king asked.
Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
It’s interesting to note that a house that is battered/sold of the people of God with no pasture or communication with God is still shown kindness.
Mephibosheth, he came to David and fell face down, saying “Behold, I am your servant” David assured him “David said, “Mephibosheth!”
“At your service,” he replied.
7 “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.”
God assures us that even in our lowest moment, he is still looking to show kindness to us. We are all like Mephibosheth, in some way, where the King comes to invite us to his table. If God can move him from the Lo debar to the kings table, he will surely make a way for me and you.
