Love God Greatly: DavidSample

SOAP: 1 Samuel 20:42 David was blessed to have a loyal and loving friend in Jonathan. Both men feared God and were devoted to one another as brothers. God knit their hearts together, and a relationship that should have been competitive in the world’s eyes transformed into a covenant of mutual support and encouragement. In the midst of turmoil, these two men chose to honor one another and their God. Even as they parted ways physically, their hearts were united. Friendships that are forged in faith grow stronger when facing the fires of life. When you are going through a difficult time, it’s important to stay connected to your tribe. We gain strength from one another, and this fuels our resolve to keep moving forward in faith. Father, thank You for the gift of friendship. Help us to choose our friends wisely, and may we encourage one another to continue living the life of faith in the midst of hard times. Amen.
