2nd Samuel 9:10-13 – “Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread al-way at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants...As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons…And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet”.
This is a very wonderful and interesting story from the Bible and it shows that it is not over until it is over.
The name, Mephibosheth, means "he who scatters shame” He was also called Meribbaal in 1st Chron. 8:34, which means contender with Baal. But, he was, instead, a carrier and bearer of shame, a victim and casualty of Baal. What a life contrary to his name he lived, until Mercy and Grace knocked on his door.
God can use anybody, when the set time has come. Imagine the life of that crippled boy at Lodebar, without any hope. But God used king David to change all that. He gave him lands, and servants to work the land, and a place of honor at the king's table.
It does not matter how long you have spent in captivity, the important thing is that Jesus will intervene in your situation. Your story will turn to glory. Divine help and intervention is already on the way for you, now.
The story of your life will be rewritten for good, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. You will have a great turn-around this 2020. Remain blessed. Shalom.
