June 23, 2024 – 1 Samuel 19:1-7
We see in these verses that God is the one who
unites hearts, ut we also know God is the only one we can always completely
trust. God did use Jonathan and his love
and friendship with David to bring these two men together, but we know that it
won’t last.
Do you find you rely on friendships more than on
God? Why do you think we sometimes go to
our friends before we run to God? God
knows more, loves more and is more trustworthy than any other friend we could
ever have. Run to Him.
19 And Saul
spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill
David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David. 2 And Jonathan told David, “Saul my father
seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning. Stay in a secret
place and hide yourself. 3 And
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will
speak to my father about you. And if I learn anything I will tell you.” 4 And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul
his father and said to him, “Let not the king sin against his servant
David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have
brought good to you. 5 For he
took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and
the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and
rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David
without cause?” 6 And Saul
listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be put to death.” 7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan
reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he
was in his presence as before.
