MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Sunday January 26, 2020
Topic: When God Remembers You
Text: 2 Samuel 9: 9 - 13
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 bless him when He
remembered him. As a cripple, he was not counted as anything. Nobody says
anything about 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 (v9) and also
commanded Ziba to serve him so that they 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
Samuel 12:8). But he restored them to him.
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. That
is love!
We
should emulate this kind of act as Christians. Till date Jesus Christ seeks the
lost and ruined race, who sought not after Him that He might save them. Are you
willing to let Him in (Revelation 3:20)?
Food for Thought: A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they
deserve.
Memory verse: v 9
Prayer:
Lord, remember me and restore all that I have lost through the fall of
man.
