A Servant's Heart
"And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table, and he was crippled in both feet" (2 Samuel 9:13).
Scripture Focus: 2 Samuel 9:1-13
I watched as one of our valets drove the golf cart with a patient who had come to the hospital for a test. He helped the lady off the cart, held on to her as he opened her walker, and then smiled, promising to pick her up again. She looked up at him and gave him a genuine "thank you." This valet and I had talked several times about things that really matter in life and both agreed about the importance of investing time and energy in people, helping where we can, making life a bit easier, offering hope and friendship and a smile.
King David became a servant to Mephibosheth, his friend Jonathan's crippled son, by providing for his every need. David showed grace because he knew the grace God had given him. Surrounding us, too, are "crippled" people from all walks of life, some hindered physically, others emotionally.
Remembering what the Lord has done for us, God calls us to show grace, love, friendship and help. Be it resolved this year we will serve Him with a smile.
Insight: Let The Words Of The Chorus Ring Out Clearly: "To Be Like Jesus, To Be Like Jesus, All I Ask...To Be Like Him."
