—1 Samuel 20:18-23
by: Kennedy Ochs.
When David was being pursued by Saul, he had a friend who risked great danger to stand by his side and support him. Jonathan, Saul’s own son, promised his loyalty to David over and above his loyalty to his father and warned David of his father’s intention to kill him (1 Samuel 20:31-42). We often have opportunities in life to stand faithfully beside a friend who needs us. We are able to give a great deal of support to our friends when we align with them to help accomplish a goal. Let us honor God through our loyalty and commitment to others.
