David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph.
Saul hunted him day after day, but God didn’t let Saul find him.
One day near Horesh, David received the news that Saul was on the way to Ziph to search for him and kill him.
Jonathan went to find David and encouraged him to stay strong in his faith in God.
Jonathan reassured him not to be afraid and that his father will not find him.
And David will only be the king of Israel no doubt, and Jonathan will be of support to him and his father too is well aware of it.
So the two of them renewed their solemn pact before the LORD. Then Jonathan returned home, while David stayed at Horesh. (1 Samuel 23:14-18 NLT)
To ponder:
If God is by our side we need not fear. No man can touch us. God loves us very much that He sends people like Jonathan in our life when we are depressed and frustrated to encourage us and put back the confidence in us. Praise God !!!
Apart from Bible reading and prayer, fellowship with godly people is very important. When we go through trials in our life there would be times when we cannot read the word or sit and pray. At such times fellowship with godly people will help us a lot to live a Godly life.
