Covenant Kindness and Restoration

Key Scriptures

2 Samuel 9:7 (CSB):
“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “since I intend to show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all your grandfather Saul’s fields, and you will always eat meals at my table.”

Psalm 23:5 (CSB):
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”

Ephesians 2:6–7 (CSB):
“He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”

Reflection Questions

How does Mephibosheth’s story help me understand God’s grace in my own life?

What areas of my life feel like “Lo-debar” (barren or forgotten) that God wants to restore?

Am I willing to accept God’s invitation to sit at His table, even when I feel unworthy?

How can I show covenant kindness to others as David did?
