—1 Samuel 19:1-7
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Instead of the father leading the son to live righteously, Jonathan led his father to do the right thing here. The king listened to his son. David, instead of fleeing for his life that night, was able to continue living in Saul’s home. When one is not guided by the Holy Spirit, one can only be persuaded to make the right decision on a temporary basis. “Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan, and swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed” (v.6, NKJV). Unfortunately, Saul forgot and his vow was short-lived. Pray for the leading of the Holy Spirit in everything you do and the commitment to follow through.
