Lessons I learnt from the guy with the long name (Mephibosheth)- You Are Not Forgotten.

In 2 Samuel 4:4 we are told that Jonathan had a son, he was only 5 when Saul and Jonathan died. He was already lame, then he was dropped by his nurse and became crippled in both feet, his name was Mephibosheth. That was all that was mentioned about him and then the next chapter goes on to another story, I was wondering why was this chapter with this unfortunate information put there, I thought it was quite sad, a crippled orphan. But then I remembered God always has a plan and when we read on a few chapter later we get to see that amazing plan in 2 Samuel 9:1.
It’s amazing that David was so adamant on finding someone from Sauls house to show kindness too for Jonathan's sake. When the servant tells Kind David about Mephibosheth, David wanted to see him at once, and at that moment Mephibosheth went from being FORGOTTEN to REMEMBERED and KNOWN

God had NOT Forgot Mephibosheth and  used David to remember him,  

In verse 7- David told Mephibosheth he would:
1. RESTORE- All the land that belonged to his Grandfather Saul.
2. ALWAYS SIT at the Kings Table.
3. His Sons & Servants WILL BE BLESSED.
Mephibosheth had called himself a dead dog because this is how he felt and could not believe he had been remembered!!!

Maybe today it seems like you have been forgotten, maybe it seems like a situation has gone from bad to worse. But I pray and believe today:
1. You will be remembered
2. It will get better
3. You will be restored
4. It will go from great to excellent

Sometimes it may seem like family, friends & people left you behind and went ahead of you. Or maybe you just feel forgotten and like you don’t matter or your dreams and hopes don’t have a future. Maybe there has been a particular on going struggle or situation. It means Gods victory is going to be greater. I pray today someone will look for you to show you kindness and remember with God you are NEVER FORGOTTEN!
