Scripture of the Day
2 Samuel 9:6-8 (NIV)
"Blessings of A Promise"
When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, “Mephibosheth!” “Your servant,” he replied. “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.” Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?”
-----------------------------
Mephibosheth was crippled by fear at the age of five, because he was dropped by his nurse as she was fleeing! However, he continued to be crippled by fear because he thought his life was in danger! I'm sure he was told the story of how his grandfather, King Saul, was always trying to kill David! And now that David was king, Mephibosheth was probably trembling with fear when he heard that the king wanted to see him! Mephibosheth was not aware of the bond between his father and the king! A vow that was made and a promise the king was determine to keep! To read about the vow, go to 1 Sam 20:14-17. Because of the covenant between David and Jonathan, the Blessings of a promise fell on Mephibosheth!
Because of the new covenant of JESUS' blood that was shed on the cross for our sins . . . the Blessings of The promise has fallen on us! Just as Mephibosheth had to accept that blessing, we must accept the blessing of Salvation from GOD!
Rejoice In HIS Blessings Today
