21 Days Fall 2026 : Day 11
❖ Day 11 Receiving God’s Unmerited Grace
(READ: 2 Samuel 9:5-8)
2 Samuel. 9:6
“Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, ‘Mephibosheth.’ and he said, ‘Here is your servant!’”
Father, thank You, that just like David we can choose not to do things in the way that this world approves of. We are not that different from Mephibosheth, just as he knew that he could be marked for death as a survivor of the former king’s family to remove any threat of revenge. We know that because of our sins, we too are marked for death. We haven’t sought You out to be reconciled - but hid from You in obscure places because of fear or shame. Yet, You have sought us out, made room for us, and given us a place at Your table as one Your own!
We are grateful that with You, we find both mercy and Your Son as the substitution for our place on the cross to restore us to a right relationship with You. Thank You for putting Your heart into King David toward Mephibosheth, and for Your heart toward us to give us a new hope and a new life! May our words echo those of Mephibosheth’s every day of our lives - “Here is your servant.” In Jesus’ name, amen.
