In the Room: At the King's Table Bonus chapter

He was born in a palace.

Royalty ran through his veins. He was the grandson of a king. The son of a prince. And one day the throne would have carried his name too.

Then everything collapsed.

Not because of anything he did. Not because of any choice he made. He was five years old.

His grandfather died in battle. His father died in battle. And in the chaos that followed someone ran through the palace with him in her arms.

She fell. He fell. And he never walked the same again.

Just like that he went from the palace to a place called Lo-debar. A forgotten place. A barren place. A place with no promise and no pasture.

For years that was just his life. Hiding. Surviving. Expecting nothing good.

And then one day a king sent for him. Not because Mephibosheth found his way back. Not because he earned anything. Not because he clawed his way out of Lo-debar through sheer determination.

The king came looking for him.

Maybe that is your story too. Maybe you were thriving and then suddenly you weren't. Maybe something collapsed around you that you never saw coming. Maybe you've been living in your own Lo-debar for longer than you planned.

This devotion is for you.

Inside you will find a full devotion, a prayer, reflection prompts, and journal space.

Because grace still comes looking. And your seat at the table was never taken.
