2 Sam 9
David knew that God has established his kingdom. He knew that God has also disposed of Saul. He loved Jonathan. He married Saul daughter.
He did not rejoiced over the death of Saul, nor did he plot against Saul to kill him. To many of Saul's follower, it seem right to favour David and uses the death of Saul to gain status.
David showed kindness to Joanthan by having Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul to eat at his table and have all, v7 And David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father, and you shall eat at my table always.”
First David did not rejoice over the death of his enemies, in particular the Lord's annointed. Secondly, he remembered Jonathan who had helped him.
David acts look very man-way of appreciation. But looking at his heart, he remembered the goodness that the Lord had showered on him, concerning Saul, regarding Jonathan.
Rememberer the blessings , rememberer the goodness of the Lord, in good times and in bad times. It sound easy to remember the Lord in good time. But most would knew that success is through their own strength and forget that it was the Lord that has bring us so far.
Count my blessings. The Lord has bless me with Rach and 3 lovely children. A father that has brought me up. A sound mind that I may know the Lord, have a good job that I enjoyed as well as ventured into business... Thank you
