GRACE WILL FIND YOU
FIRST
2 Samuel 9:1-13
David asked “Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? Grace begins in the throneroom and finds us. Like Mephibosheth, before we were ever aware of grace at all it already began seeking us out. - While we were yet in sin, he loved us and sought us out.
a. GOD GRACE REMEMBERS US. Forgotten by his nation, abandoned by his family –no reason to remember Mephibosheth.But out of God’s grace, David remembered this crippled man. They were quick to remind David that Mephibosheth was crippled, as if that would turn David’s heart.Didn’t remember him because of what he could get out of him (no use)—motivated by pure grace. God’s motivation to reach us is pure grace.

b. GOD’S GRACE PURSUES US. It’ll go wherever you are. No
matter where you may be today, grace can find you there and change your life.
c. GOD’S GRACE CARRIES US. Mephibosheth could not help
himself, he couldn’t reach David if he had to – so David sent men to carry him.
God’s grace is dependent upon His ability, not mine. When you can’t walk any farther,
let his grace carry you. When you can’t believe any more, let his grace carry
you.When you’re weak let his grace carry you 2 Cor. 12:9 ... My grace is
sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Are you embracing that Grace that God offers you. His grace
is seeking you.If you’re lost you can know his grace right now. But you have to
receive it.
If you’re a believer and found yourself in a place where you need his grace,
His grace is available for you as well. Come today – this could be your day of
grace.
Peace be unto you
