Bible Bites
Is There Anyone?
“Is there anyone left of the house of Saul that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” (2 Samuel 9:1)
Jonathan had been a righteous friend in some of David’s darkest hours. David could never repay Jonathan for the kindness he had shown him over the years when he fled in the wilderness like a flea, and by the time David became king, Jonathan had died.
So, what did David do? He sought an opportunity to help someone who couldn’t help themselves, just like Jonathan had done for him.
If you want to make the world a better place, a more godly place, and let Jesus shine through you… go about doing good where you can, when you can, and fill whomever’s needs are right in front of you.
“And He sat down and called the twelve. And He said to them, ‘If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.’ ” (Mark 9:35)
