Have You ever been convinced that God has mistaken you for someone else?   I've had a strange start to the year.  Seriously, it has to be a case of mistaken identity.  Oftentimes, it seems like the Holy Ghost leads us to situations we have no business being in.  Through a few of these circumstances I've learned a thing or two that may help you.  Here's my advice on how you should respond to that strange calling.

I refer to these verses to relate my message.

Study the story for yourself and find yourself in Mephibosheth's shoes.

 

2 Samuel 9:1-8

1  And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

2  And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.

3  And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.

4  And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo–debar.

5  Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo–debar.

6  Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!

7  And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

8  And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
