This week, we explore two parallel stories that shine a spotlight on ḥesed—God’s covenantal love. In chapter 9, Mephibosheth humbly receives David’s kindness and is welcomed to the king’s table. In chapter 10, Hanun rejects that same kindness, leading to war. These passages invite us to mirror the loyal love of our King: keeping our promises, showing mercy, and extending grace—even when it’s misunderstood. Join us as we reflect on the steadfast love of God, fully revealed in Christ, and prepare our hearts for the Lord’s Table.
