3: Meanwhile, Back at the Camp…

Meanwhile, Saul and his 600 men were camped on the outskirts of Gibeah, around the pomegranate tree at Migron. (v2)

While Jonathan and his armour-bearer were shifting things at a cosmic level, the rest of the army were "camping." Passivity can be contagious and the whole army had become immobilised.

Prophetically, the image of this stationary army, camped under a fruit tree, can warn us of how easy it is to settle in a place that is relatively safe and has enough provision to maintain camping.

As the scripture recounts the actions of Jonathan and his friend, we read the word “meanwhile.”

When we choose a faith adventure, we are also saying no to the seduction of mediocrity, where we sit in the shade and security that was created by a previous generation.

Let's break camp.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for Your Word. Give me courage to move when You speak.
