Mephibosheth was
King Saul´s grandson and son of Jonathan, who was a great friend of David. Saul
and Jonathan died the same day and when the news came to the palace, a servant
took Mephibosheth and ran away with him. As they ran, the kid, who was 5 years
old, fell and became disable. The servant, took him in her arms to the house of
someone who belonged to the king´s family (read 2 Samuel 4:4).
As
years went by, the King David asked one of his servants:"...David
asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show
kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” (read 2 Samuel 9:1).
Yes.
Mephibosheth, who was raced in a poor city, he was living in misery and in
need. So when he found out about the existance of Jonathan´s son, he sent
someone to bring him where he was: "...“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." (read 2
Samuel 9:7)
But,
Mephibosheth answered: "...What is your servant, that you should notice
a dead dog like me?” (2 Samuel 9:8)
To
learn
Mephibosheth´s
story also happens nowadays. There are a lot people who are descendants of the
King (borned of God) and that still don´t know the rights they
have; instead of being at the table, they are begging on the streets or in
need.
Mephibosheth
knew all along that he belonged to royalty, but he chose to live in that poor
situation, thinking that he didn´t deserve more or that he didn´t have the
right to have a better life.
The
image Mephibosheth had os himself was the one of a loser. And you can see that
in the words he used to answer to David.
Members
of the royalty
The
ones that belong to God are members of the royalty. They have the right to have
a great life. Many, meanwhile, are living in a poor situation instead of living
in the palace.
You
may be going through a lot of difficulties, but do not forget that if you are
using your faith and if your whole life is in God´s hands, you are a child of
the Almighty and there´s still time to stop being in the situation you are in.
Mephibosheth
had fisical limitations. Do not pay attention to your limitations, but remember
about God´s promises, remember what He promised to do in the lives of those who
believe.
Don´t
limitate yourself to what your eyes can see. Get out of that place (the life
God does not promises). Look at yourself as a winner and enjoy the
blessings that belong to you. God, as David, is looking for those who have the
faith it takes to honor and to change their own lives; if your are part of this
group show God your faith AND YOU CAN BE SURE (HAVE FAITH) THAT IF HE FINDS
YOU, YOU WILL BE HONOREDAND YOU WILL LIVE AS A PRINCE/PRINCESS BECAUSE IT´S A
RIGHT YOU HAVE!! SO PRAY, BE FAITHFUL AND CERTAINLY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, YOUR
LIFE WILL CHANGE.
At
your disposition
