获取软件Daily Bible Reading – April 2021, God’s Word of Mercy and Forgiveness预览
April 18
Introduction
On one of the occasions when David spared Saul’s life, David promised that he would spare Saul’s descendants (1 Samuel 24:21, 22). He had also promised Saul’s son, Jonathan, that he would show loyalty to Jonathan’s family (1 Samuel 20:14-16). In today’s reading, David wants to show kindness to Saul’s family. He seeks out Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth who is crippled, and David gives him the land that once belonged to his grandfather Saul. David promises to feed and care for him like one of his own sons.
Today’s Scripture Reading
2 Samuel 9:1-13
Today’s Key Verse: 2 Samuel 9:3a (GNT)
The king asked him, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show loyalty and kindness, as I promised God I would?”
Reflect
David honored Mephibosheth by giving him a place at his table. Why did David want to show kindness to him? Is there someone you know who needs to be shown kindness today?
Prayer
Lord God, thank you for your steadfast faithfulness and love. Teach me to act in ways that are kind and loving to all those I encounter today. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Children who are hospitalized.
Tomorrow’s Reading
