Sounds Like A Plan

Thrive Forward Series

October 7, 2018 • Pastor Mary Bard-Elliott

THRIVE: to progress toward or realize a goal despite the circumstances.

2 Samuel 4:4 (AMP)
Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news [of the deaths] of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. And the boy’s nurse picked him up and fled; but it happened that while she was hurrying to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.

2 Samuel 9:1
Then David said, “Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”

2 Samuel 9:6-8
6 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he said, “Here is your servant!”

7 David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly.

8 Again he prostrated himself and said, “What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog like me?”

2 Samuel 9:11
11  So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.

Psalm 34:17-18
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
