Ziba
I met with Anis, one of our Indonesian staff, and reminded him that he has an important job. He is in charge of finding the lepers and bringing them to our base for treatment. I also told him he is like the servant of King David who was sent to find the lame boy named Mephiboseth. King David’s servant was Ziba. He went to a very remote place to find this lame boy hoping to bring him back to meet King David. When the boy met the King he got on his knees and stated that he was no more than a “dog” in his sight. David accepted him and gave him a place at his table. He went from rejected to one of the highest places in the kingdom. Anis has an important job just like Ziba. He is sent out to find the most rejected and bring them back to a place where they are given a place at “the table” of acceptance.
