1 SamuelSample
Jonathan’s Plan and Saul’s Foolishness
Questions to consider:
- What does this passage teach you about God?
- What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
- Compare Jonathan and Saul’s actions. What are their motivations? Whose glory are they seeking? Whose glory are you seeking?
- Saul’s pride results in personal consequences and affects those around him. In what areas are you tempted to be prideful? How does that affect the people around you?
Let’s Pray:
Lord, You alone are worthy of praise! You are powerful, faithful, and trustworthy. God, I confess that I often forget this and become prideful. Help me to remember to seek your glory above my own.
Scripture
About this Plan
Picture this: a nation chosen by God; a prophet from an unlikely background to help show God’s ways to His people; a king whose fear and unfaithfulness bring disaster; and a man after God’s own heart who changed the nation of Israel forever. This is a story of God’s reign and rule, Israel’s choices and consequences, and two men’s different responses to God.
