The
kindness of God is shown in different ways. We read of “God’s
kindness” being shown to Mephibosheth – “he always ate at the king’s
house” (2 Samuel 9:3,7). Nevertheless, we are also told, at the end of
the chapter, that “he was crippled in both feet” (2 Samuel 9:13). We
read also of a man who did not receive worldly goods – “Silver or gold I
do not have”, but he did receive healing – “In the Name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth, walk.” We see him, “walking and jumping and praising God”
(Acts 3:6,9). We should not demand that the kindness of God must always
be shown in the same way. We do, however, have every encouragement to
join with the Psalmist in praying, “I am poor and needy; come quickly to
me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay” (Psalm
70:5).
