There Was An Immediate
Bond Between Them,
For Jonathan Loved David.
You and I can’t always be in the driver’s seat, but that
doesn’t mean that we are not important in God’s great plan.
Scripture
There was an immediate bond
between them, for Jonathan loved David.
3 And Jonathan
made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself.
4 Jonathan sealed the pact by taking
off his robe and giving it to David, together with his tunic, sword, bow, and
belt.
Observation
You would have thought that Jonathan would have been
jealous of David yet somehow there was an immediate bond between them that
caused Jonathan to willingly give up his position to be king and hand it over
to David.
To the day he died Jonathan’s loyalty to David never
changed. It is an incredible story of godly agape love.
Jonathan knew that David would one day become king of
Israel but that didn’t bother him. It didn’t make him jealous of David.
Jonathan was a great warrior, but he was also humble and able to serve under
the leadership of other’s.
Without guys like Jonathan there would not be great
leaders like King David!
You and I can’t always be in the driver’s seat, but that
doesn’t mean that we are not important in God’s great plan.
Application
I
will serve the best I can where God has placed me. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for Pastor Bruce today. Bless him. I pray for Bruce’s family,
his wife Heather, his children Gwen, Noel, and Titus. Thank You for their
leadership. Protect them from the evil one. Continue to bring strong godly men
and women along side of them to grow our church. Thank You for those that lead
us at Christ Fellowship. Bless them. I especially pray for Brea today as she
travels to see her very sick Mom. Use her in the lives of her extended family
while she is making this trip. Open their hearts to Your love and the Gospel
message.
