WHEN
GOD REMEMBERS YOU Tuesday

2 Samuel 9:9 – 13 Memory verse: v 9
When God remembers us, He restores all
we have lost and add more blessings for us. This was the case of Mephibosheth
here. God used David to remember him. As a cripple, he was not counted as
anything. The worst was the fact that his father was no more, he was a cripple
and his brother was not on the throne. Things may have been so hard for him.
But God was somewhere watching and He decided to honour him.
Are you crippled
in any form either physically, financially or spiritually and you have nobody
to help you? God will remember you as He did for Mephibosheth in Jesus name.
David restored to him all that belong to his father (9:9) and also commanded
Ziba to serve him so that there will be provisions for his family. Ordinarily,
properties acquired by Kings are transferred to their successors and not to
their sons. This was the reason these properties were in David’s hands (2 Sam
12:8). But he restored them to Mephibosheth.
David’s kindness to Mephibosheth reminds
us of the kindness and love of God our Saviour to fallen man, to whom He was
under no obligation, as David was to Jonathan. Yet God came down looking for us
as David went looking for Mephibosheth. This is love. We should emulate this
kind of act as Christians. Till date Jesus Christ seeks this lost and ruined
race, who sought not after Him that He might save them. Are you willing to let
Him in (Rev 3:20)?
Food
for Thought: A
part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.
Prayer: Lord, do remember me and restore all that I have lost through the fall of man.
