Military Action and a Touch of Grace (2 Samuel 8 - 10)

The Wisdom Journey with Stephen Davey

What makes a great leader—power or kindness? David was a warrior, winning victories and expanding Israel’s borders. But in the middle of his success, he paused to show kindness to Mephibosheth, the crippled grandson of King Saul. Why would a victorious king seek out a man from the defeated royal family and invite him to his table? This episode explores David’s military triumphs, his leadership skills, and his remarkable act of grace. It also reveals a profound picture of how God treats you. Like Mephibosheth, you bring nothing to the King’s table, yet God welcomes you, not because of what you have done, but because of His great love. You will see how David’s story points to Jesus, the ultimate King, who invites you into His presence, despite your past. What does this mean for your own life? It’s a reminder that God’s grace is always greater than your failures, and His invitation is always open.
