DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 10; Psalms 111-112; Mark 2:1-22
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. 2 Samuel 9:7
Lame on both his feet, fearful Mephibosheth was brought before the King. After hearing David’s gracious words he reverently bowed in gratitude and said: "What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I?" We too, helpless sinners, once in a far off place, are brought as sons to sit at the Lord’s table by the grace of God. Let us worship Him today for all His mercy and love to us. —E. MacLelland
Precious moments at Thy table, from all fear and doubt set free;
Here to rest, so sweetly able, occupied alone with Thee. —Thompson
