2 Samuel 9:7 So David said to him, \u201cDo not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father\u2019s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

David wanted to show kindness to Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul. Mephibosheth was lame in both his feet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

David\u00a0wanted\u00a0to make sure he was taken care of for the rest of his life.\u00a0What a wonderful\u00a0and kind thing to do for\u00a0someone.<\/p>\n

Giving, which is a pure act of kindness, touches the heart of people, and God is glorified through it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This man,\u00a0Mephibosheth,\u00a0didn’t think much of himself because of his condition. Being lame in both his feet,\u00a0he thought of himself as equal to a dead dog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2 Samuel 9:8 Then he bowed himself, and said, \u201cWhat is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In other words, “why should you help someone in my condition?”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Because God has the final\u00a0say, and He doesn’t look at us as dead dogs just because we may have some issues.<\/p>\n

God used\u00a0David\u00a0to\u00a0help this man. It didn’t fall from the sky. Someone had to obey,\u00a0step out and\u00a0do a kind deed and\u00a0give. And it changed this\u00a0man’s situation for life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When God prompts\u00a0us to give, whether it’s to a person,\u00a0ministry or community, let us do our part. There is nothing that can compete with the\u00a0feeling\u00a0we\u00a0get when we obey, give and help make\u00a0a difference. Such a beautiful way to live!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don’t take it lightly when we feel the prompting of God. That kind deed may\u00a0change the\u00a0destiny of someone or something in a great way, and we will reap from our giving\u00a0as well. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
