(TEXT : 2 Samuel 9:3)
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
FOCUS :
David is actually referring back to the happenings of (1Sam 18), where he made a covenant pertains to the great price that Jesus paid at the Calvary. In this verse 3, shows that David seeking Mephibosheth. Ever is the Lord seeking the sinners (John 3:16). In the next three days, we will be discussing about the things Mephibosheth enjoyed from David through the help of the relationship his father (Johnathan) had built with David long before he was even born into the royal family. Today, we will only discuss about the first part of the favour that spoke for Mephibosheth, even at the point where all hope has seems to have been lost for the poor young man.
In addition, the first part is: Mephibosheth received kindness from David. This kind of kindness it’s not an ordinary one but ordained by divine direction and revelation. For Mephibosheth, he would have never thought that this kind of kindness can come to someone like him and even from someone like King David. Left to ordinary men, kindness can be sometime hard to show or given to someone, particularly those who are seems to be “less privilege” around us; but with God, David remembered Mephibosheth for kindness. Because Mephibosheth set time was dope!
Psalms 102:13
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
Finally, and not only was Mephibosheth remembered, David also shown that kindness towards him real good. Because there are some cases whereby some people will be remembered for kindness to be shown upon them, but one way or the other, they are yet to receive their kindness from the people who remembered them. However, when God wants to show a man His kindness He makes man or men to remember the fellow, even in their busy schedules. King David just returned from battlefield according to (2Sam 8:11-12) killing different kings with their kingdoms such as: the philistines, the Moab, Hadadezer the king of Zobah, Syrians etc. however, the very first thing the king did in (2Sam 9); was how to show kindness towards Mephibosheth the son of his dear late friend (Prince Johnathan). This can only be God on the move for Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel 9:1
And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
