David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people.

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭8‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Remembering the love and loyalty he once enjoyed with his best friend Jonathan, now deceased, he sought out Jonathan’s remaining son:

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. “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?””

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Like being found the long lost heir to some overseas royal fortune, Mephi asks King David how this good fortune could have possibly come upon a nobody like him.

Unaware how much his father’s friendship long ago meant to King David, this bestowment would surely be like winning a lottery he never even knew existed.

The trajectory of his life and his family’s future would be forever changed because of his bloodline and a good king who was also once a nobody in need of a loyal friend.

Takeaway: We never really know what truly remarkable blessings are just around the corner, headed your way directed by the very hand of God by way of his servants.

Accept the gift.
