2 Samuel 9:1,7,8 NIV<\/strong>
\n\u201cIs there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan\u2019s sake?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid,\u201d David said to him, \u201cfor I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan.\u00a0I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mephibosheth\u00a0bowed down and said, \u201cWhat is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog\u00a0like me?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

[Excerpt from Zara Jariol Testimony]
\nThe session leader shared the words \u201cbroken vessel,\u201d and I remember thinking, \u201cYes, my dad needs to be a broken vessel!\u201d but instead he said that I am to be the broken vessel.<\/p>\n

Song of Songs 2:4 NIV<\/strong>
\n\u201cLet him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner\u00a0over me be love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

God\u2019s hesed<\/em> kindness shepherded and prepared David throughout his life to not just be king but to be a servant. As David had received God\u2019s kindness, he then cared for Mephibosheth like a good shepherd by leading him to good pasture and fully redeeming his livelihood. He also welcomed him to the king\u2019s banqueting table. Mephibosheth had probably expected death. This was too good to be true. The banner over his life was no longer shame and fear but a song of love.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/strong> Father, empower us to be the broken vessels of your kindness so that others may come and join the song of the redeemed at your banqueting table. In Jesus\u2019 name, amen.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s worship to the song, \u201cDeath Was Arrested\u201d by North Point Worship (click here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
