So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.”�2 Samuel 9:13
Mephibosheth was no great ornament to a royal table, yet he had a continual place at David’s board, because the king could see in his face the features of the beloved Jonathan. Like Mephibosheth, we may cry unto the King of Glory, “What is thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?” but still the Lord indulges us with most familiar intercourse with himself, because he sees in our countenances the remembrance of his dearly-beloved Jesus”. (Charles Spurgeon)
Aren’t we blessed! God looks at us through Jesus. Our deformity shall not rob us of our privileges. Lameness is no bar to sonship. Let’s come to the king’s table with our lameness – it’s a hiding-place for all our inadequacies. Come.
