LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)
"I will save the limping (ones) and make them a name' (Zephaniah 3:19 AMP)
COME TO THE COVENANT PLACE
David and Jonathan had a covenant relationship that trickled down to their heir . So when Jonathan died and David became king, he looked for someone to bless for Jonathan's sake. Just like God is looking to bless you for Christ sake. (See Ephesian 1:3). Jonathan had a son, Mephibosheth, who was lame and lived in Lo-Debar, -'the place of no bread'. That's significant because when your self esteem is non-existent your surroundings usually reflect it. You either give up or go the other side by striving to make your performance, your home, your appearance etc, look perfect. And that's a lot of pressure to put on yourself!
Mephibosheth knew he had certain rights because He was king Saul's grandson, yet he continued to live in poverty and isolation. And since his lameness embarrass him he avoided people who could help him. Are you doing the same by refusing to pursue God's blessing for your life? When you constantly see yourself in a negative light you tend to think God does too. Thankfully that's not true. Even those with a limp can succeed when they realise that their imperfections don't limit God. The truth is we all have a limp in some area! That's why God promised to save the limping ones and make them a name in every land of their shame'. Come on, you've have lived in Lo-Debar for too long its time to get in the place of the covenant and begin to enjoy God's blessing. It's time to claim your inheritance, to take your place at the king's table. Let go and let God!
Prayer Point
Father, I invoke the covenant of the blood of Jesus over every situation of my life, I come into supernatural help and blessing in Jesus name.
