he could have crawled in or been carried in. im confused by the story. is the "stray dog" sauls grandson. why was he a stray? did he leave israel? what brought him back? where is his childs mother? he got all of sauls and then david gave him servants to take care of it all while meph just lived practically with david. i guess i could only relate to ziba. a servant. with a perfect servants heart. not that im perfect but to want to do all that my master has called me to. i dont really see the message of honoring people. i dont think these coat tails are ridden because of honr. oh the kings grandson he shall be treated LIKE one of the royal family. clearly hes not royal family because that would be davids fam. but i guess he is kinda family in there. but it says he took his meals like he was family not cause he was. it just really looks like david is trying to bless him by giving him stuff and people to take care of it and him. it looks like blessing not honor.
what holds me back form following god completely? what does that mean to follow you completely. yes i want to be obediant to you and your word but i fail. whether its responding in your time frame or even at all. so i would not be able to follow you completely, and if i did wouldnt that make me a drone (not what god wants for us to be). god is seen in our brokenness not in our completeness. he completes us. i am not complete without him. so how can I follow HIM completely without HIM. god you hole me back from following me completely. or is it me?
aha! the rest of the chapter makes it clear that david is looking to bless not to honr. and meph was carried in. crippled feet. take care of him. bless him. help him. care for him. provide for him. a dead or stray dog...bless the lowly.
