Manna for Your Morning

The king said, “Is there not yet anyone of the house of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is crippled in both feet.” — 2 Samuel 9:3 (NASB1995) Mephibosheth was hiding out in Lo-debar but he was brought to King David. David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly.” So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate at the king’s table regularly. (See 2 Samuel 9:7,13 NASB1995) We too have a King who wants to show us the kindness of God. He wants to restore us. Don’t try to hide from God, when we have been invited to dine daily with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Accept the invitation and let Him in. Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him ...

“As for Mephibosheth,” said the king, “he shall eat at my table like one of the king’s sons.” — 2 Samuel 9:11b (NKJV) When King David was looking for one of Saul’s descendants to show the kindness of God to, Mephibosheth was hiding out in Lo Debar. After King David brought him to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth ate continually at the king’s table, like one of his sons. Are you trying to hide from the LORD? You are the son or daughter of the King.

What an honor and privilege!  That also means provision. The food He gives will sustain and nourish you. Come hungry and eat at His table today. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20 NKJV)

Then the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet.” — 2 Samuel 9:3 (NKJV) Jonathan’s son, Mephibosheth, was found hiding out in Lo Debar. King David sent for him, restored to him all the land of King Saul and invited him to eat at his table continually, like one of the king’s sons. (2 Samuel 9:5,7, 11). Are you hiding out in Lo Debar, when you could be dining at the King’s table? When we mess up or when something doesn't go the way we think it should have, we allow the enemy to draw us away from God. We think we are hiding from God, but He knows exactly where we are. And no matter where we are, spiritually, emotionally or physically, God just wants to show us His kindness. So come out of hiding, stop living a lame spiritual life, and dine with Him continually. Daily partake of the delicacies at the King’s table. You are a child o...
