2 Samuel 8-9, 1 Chronicles 18
Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, was brought to David as the sole survivor of Saul's family. He was severely handicapped, being unable to walk. However, because of David's great love for Jonathan, Mephibosheth would have everything he needed. He would be given the same status as any of the other princes in David's kingdom. Isn't this a wonderful picture of what the Lord does for us? He seeks us out, bringing us to Himself, seating us at His table, making us princes in His kingdom, giving us stature that is undeserved, providing what we are unable to do for ourselves. We are the Lord's Mephibosheth, and we should be asking what he asked of the king, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?” For, we are unworthy of the honor He has placed upon us. Praise God that He loves us, in spite of our lameness, and sets us up in high places with Him!
