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.
