Mephibosheth Found Favor
By Mark Flippo
2 Samuel 9:
6-When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. 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. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.” 8-Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?”
9-Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. 10-You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
Favor is a God given blessing that we have not worked for or earned in any way. He can give you favor within your family with friends maybe at your work as well. Have you ever for no reason, had someone in a store or talking to a stranger on the phone do something very nice for you without a reason? We have found that to be true on many occasions. Whenever this happens you should take a moment to thank your Heavenly Father.
James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
If He has given you favor with anyone remember it is from God Himself!
