Today, in 1 Sam 20-23, we read of the great friendship between David and Jonathan (son of King Saul AND heir to the throne of Israel!). Saul was jealous of David and sought to kill him. Saul feared for his continued reign as he knew the Lord the left him for his disobedience. Jonathan was next in line for the position of King. But God had other plans. David had already been anointed by the prophet Samuel! This is getting good eh?
Jonathan and David were close friends. Jonathan did not want any harm to come to David. Jonathan even realized that he would not be king, that David would! (See ch 23v17-18).
Amazing the friendship between Jonathan and David. What would you be willing to give up for the love of a true friend? Have many TRUE friends? How well do they know you? How well will you let yourself be known?
