On December 12, 2021 our morning message was brought by Rev. Marcus McDougle. Scripture reference 2 Samuel 9:1.
Food For Thought: The lesson today tells us that we are to show mercy and compassion for others. We should ask ourselves can we do what David did for the descendants of his greatest enemy, Saul. David was friends with Jonathan so he kept the promise he made. Our world is populated by the oppressed and marginalized. We will always have the poor among us. There are people that we live with every day that are the least likely to not receive compassion and mercy from others. We should make it a point to intentionally show kindness, even to those who cannot reciprocate or to those whom we identify as undeserving. Our challenge is to emulate His “mercy of justice” in our relationships with others.
