LOOK:

David’s grace to Mephibosheth is also a pattern for us in serving and ministering to others. We are David.

  • We should seek out our enemies and seek to bless them.
  • We should look for the poor, weak, lame, and hidden to bless them.
  • We should bless others when they don’t deserve it and bless them more than they deserve.
  • We should bless others for the sake of someone else.
  • We must show the kindness of God to others.

LOOK:

We should always go to the Lord before making important decisions, or giving counsel to others about important issues. Do not just assume that you know the right answer. Do not just answer with your own opinion, no matter how sure you are of it.

LOOK:

David bringing the ark back to Jerusalem is truly an eye-opening story. The life lessons it teaches help us to be more careful and dependent on God’s direction in life. To recap, the lessons you learned were that ignorance does not excuse us, and you can do the right thing the wrong way, and knowledge builds confidence.

What should surprise us is not that the Lord sometimes executes His wrath immediately but that He does not do so more often. We must be grateful for His gracious restraint when we sin.

LOOK:

It was God’s will that David reign over the entire nation, just as it is His will that Christ be Lord over all of our lives. Any part that is left outside His will is going to rebel and cause trouble. We are “bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh” (5:1; Eph. 5:30), and we ought to invite Him to reign over us. Only then will we have complete peace and victory.
