THOT OF THE WEEK HIS GRACE WILL FIND YOU Mephibosheth would never forget that day. Word quickly spread through the countryside, “King Saul and Prince Jonathan are dead and David is now King.” At the house of Jonathan this not only brought grief but panic as well. In that day it was customary that if a King took the throne he’d often eliminate the family of the King before him. Sitting playing on the floor was little Mephibosheth oblivious to it all and soon his nurse burst into the room; grabs him up and heads toward the door to run for safety, but in so doing she drops him crushing his ankles crippling him for life. He believed that there would never be a day that would so impact his life and so affect his future like that day. This day destined him for destitution, to live as a pauper instead of a prince. But Mephibosheth would soon discover that a day would come that would make a far greater impact on his life and on his future. The Day Grace found him. David had just subdued his greatest enemies the Philistines, Moabites & Syrians. As he sat in his palace, looking back over his past and how he had come from a sheepfold to a throne room; no doubt he was taken by the wonder of God’s grace on his life. I believe he began to look for a way that he could demonstrate the grace of God to someone that was just as unworthy as he was. Mephibosheth would become the recipient of David’s act of grace, David asked “Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? Grace begins in the throne room and finds us. Like Mephibosheth, before we were ever aware of grace at all it already began seeking us out. While we were yet in sin, he loved us and sought us out. Forgotten by his nation, abandoned by his family, no reason to remember Mephibosheth. But out of God’s grace, David remembered this crippled man. Please note that even if people write you off and forget you, God’s grace remembers. God’s grace pursues us and it’ll go wherever you are. Ask Mephibosheth, it found him in Lo-Debar a place of no pasture, barren, desolate place, hiding place, destitute place and brought him to the Kings palace. Ask the prodigal son, it found him in a pigpen and brought him home. Ask Joseph, it found him in a pit dug for him by his brothers and it lifted him as high as second in command of Egypt. Ask the Samaritan Woman, it found her at a well in the middle of the day full of shame and made people follow her to where the savior was. No matter where you may be today, grace can find you there and change your life. Mephibosheth could not help himself, he couldn’t walk to reach David if he wanted to but David sent men to carry him. I declare to you that; When you can’t walk any further, God’s grace will find you and carry you. When you can’t believe any more, God’s grace will find you and carry you. When you’re weak, God’s grace will find you and carry you. 2 Cor. 12:9 ... My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Bishop Tee Nalo
