Kindness

9 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”

² Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
“At your service,” he replied.
³ The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?”
Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”
⁴ “Where is he?” the king asked.
Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
⁵ So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.

 I clearly remember this verse as a passage shared during Fairfield. I clearly remember the speaker mentioned that the most powerful part of the passage is that David asked that question. David knew because He had made a covenant, He had the means to bless Saul's bloodline. So he will. And that is powerful because he asked :"Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?" He asked that, not when some one reports to him that he found someone in Saul's bloodline then he will "remember" the covenant. When one person becomes a king, he can do whatever he wants, no one would actually complain or comment. he could have easily just shrugged it off and not think or do anything about it. But he did not. He remembered the covenant that he made with Jonathan in God's name. It really shows that David although king, recognize that he is man infront of God. Then the question is do we ask ourselves do we seek out people to bless? That we act out God's commandment for us? To make disciples of all nations? Do we like David ask ourselves who can i bless? Many dont and we need to work on that!
