Welcome back 5 minute Friday...
The word for today is "friendship"...
And... GO!!!!
A specific friendship that comes to mind is David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel 18 through to 2 Samuel 1.
What it must be like to have a friend that would go against his father's will. Saul wanted David dead and Jonathan did everything in his power to help his friend. His soul and David's soul were really joined, for these two men shared such a special bond.
2 Sam 26
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;
very pleasant have you been to me;
your love to me was extraordinary,
surpassing the love of women.
What a deep friendship they had.
I hope you can all have a friend here on earth that you can treasure like how David and Jonathan treasured each other... And I hope that your relationship with our Lord and Savior runs deeper than that!
STOP!!!
I recently retread this story and I truly am in owe of how Jonathan stood up for David. If it wasn't for Jonathan, David would have been killed. And we all know Christ comes through David's blood line. So it was important to God that David lived, and I think Jonathan knew that.
Have a super weekend friends and stay safe... Always remember God, and what His will is!
In Him,
Trace
