The King has sent His chariot to look for you
Isaías Rivera
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The story is about King David and Mefi-bosheth, the grandson of the first King of Israel, who became disabled after falling during an attempt to protect himself during the time that his family was being killed. Mefi-bosheth lost everything, including his name, and went into hiding in a city called Lodebar. After fifteen years of being forgotten and rejected, King David sends his chariots to look for him. When Mefi-bosheth is brought before the King, David calls him by his name, which gives him value and recognition. David also tells him not to be afraid and takes care of him, showing that people want to be recognized and have human value beyond monetary help. The story teaches us that external circumstances should not define us, and that God is always seeking to protect and care for us.
The speaker talks about Mefi-boset, a man who was forgotten and abandoned for 15 years, but was later invited to sit at King David's table and eat with him. The speaker compares this to sitting at the Lord's table, where all disabilities and past problems are not seen, and everyone is treated equally. The speaker encourages those with spiritual disabilities or who have suffered domestic violence to trust in the Lord and know that they are invited to His table. He also tells parents of children with disabilities that their children will have a seat at the Lord's table and that they will receive the same blessings as everyone else.

I want to share a story that has to do with King David. After King David has control and the union of the 12 tribes, everything is at peace in the Kingdom, he remembered some promises he had made to his best friend Jonathan when he was in trouble with Jonathan's father who was Saul.
And chapter 9 begins with David asking: "Is there any of the house of Saul left to whom I show mercy for Jonathan's sake?" And the previous idea is that when Jonathan and Saul die, that they are killed on the battlefield, it was very historical that the royal family that was left alive was going to kill them. The idea is that by killing the entire royal family no one could then gain a step to the throne, so David's way of securing his throne was by eliminating the entire family of Saul and Jonathan.
