Daily Devo | "Jonathan Loved David" (David - Day 4, 1 Samuel 18:1-4)

Why did Jonathan love David? In contrast to the cowardice and self-centeredness of his father, King Saul, Jonathan saw in David a kindred spirit. They shared a bold courage and faith in God, and that shared love bonded them together. Any shared love will draw people closer together, especially the love of God.

For Reflection:

A shared love of God draws people together, as it does powerfully for Jonathan and David.

- How has your understanding of love been challenged, changed, and enriched by following Christ?

- Jonathan's love of God and David motivated him to make a profound sacrifice -- he gave up his claim to the throne in favor of David. How has God's love motivated you to make sacrificial choices?

- Is there a way in which God might be inviting you to make a sacrificial choice out of love right now?
