1 Samuel 23-24

"David inquired of the Lord and the Lord answered him" - this becomes a distinct pattern in David's life (in counter-distinction to Saul).

The role that Jonathan plays in David's life is highlighted once again.  And once David hears Jonathan, "encourage him and strengthen his faith in God," they go their separate ways, never to meet again.

What a man and what a legacy of friendship.  The man who would be king, pouring out his life (and giving his crown) for his friend!

Read it here.

  1. I LOVE the relationship between David and Jonathan! What a great example to each of us to always be a faithful David to others and to ourselves be a Jonathan and allow others to be iron in our lives.
