TODAY’S WORD
Mephibosheth was born into royalty, the grandson of King Saul, but he had to flee for his life, was crippled, and ended up living in exile in the slums of Lo-Debar. None of that lessened his value as royalty. But years later, when David came to restore Mephibosheth to the palace and to all that belonged to his family, notice that he saw himself as a dead dog. He allowed what happened to him to make him feel unworthy, damaged, disadvantaged, not deserving of the king’s kindness. But God brought him out of Lo-Debar and back into his destiny.
No person who did you wrong, no bad break, and no mistake you make can lessen your value. You are still a child of the Most High. You still have a purpose to fulfill. You may be in Lo-Debar, but don’t let Lo-Debar get in you. That’s where you are; it’s not who you are. Don’t get stuck with a dead-dog mentality. You belong to the King, and He’s bringing you out of Lo-Debar. Believe that you are worthy. Restoration is coming, promotion is coming, breakthroughs are coming.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for loving me with an everlasting love and adopting me into Your royal family. Help me to quit believing the lies that say I am a victim and unworthy of Your blessings. I believe and declare that I am a child of the Most High God and that I’m stepping up to live in the palace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
