The Godly Man – Man’s Relationship with Himself Sunday, June 19, 2022

2 Samuel 9:1-8 (NIV)
David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They called him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” “Your servant,” he replied. The king asked, “Is there no one still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan: he is crippled in both feet.” “Where is he?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.” So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel. 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?”

You Are Significant!

I John 4:8-10 (NIV)

2 Samuel 9:13 (NIV)
And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was crippled in both feet.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
“My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me.
