1 Samuel

DAY 18 OF 42

Jonathan’s Plan and Saul’s Foolishness

Questions to consider:

  1. What does this passage teach you about God?
  2. What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
  3. Compare Jonathan and Saul’s actions. What are their motivations? Whose glory are they seeking? Whose glory are you seeking? 
  4. 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.

About this Plan

1 Samuel

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.
