Scripture Speaks

Jonathan And David

Then Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God.
And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Even my father Saul knows that."
So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.
Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
1 Samuel 23:16-19

Jonathan helped David escape from King Saul. David didn't kill King Saul because King Saul, like David, had been anointed by God. We all need help from flesh-bodied people.
Jonathan never got to be next to King David because he and his father were killed by the Philistines. God used Jonathan in His capacity. God will prepare a path for everybody that is willing to follow Him.
Interesting story with the word, "stronghold." I was posting a tweet about SKY HIGH on Twitter. I posted it but couldn't use the character's full name - Will Stronghold. Of course "stronghold" was mentioned in this passage. If you let Him, God will always be with you, good and bad. This was just another example of God saying, "Hi," to me - He does that.
God knows what you are doing, even before you have done it - kinda freaky, if you think about it. Remember that you are a vessel for the LORD, allowing God to work through you, and He will do wondrous things. It only took me a couple years for me to figure this out - well, that's how long it took God to teach me.
I have started the Bible for the third time, and now it is starting to get fun. I understand a bit more, and I don't to research every little thing. I am only about halfway through Genesis, so we'll see later. God knows what you are doing and saying (I know that), and I am pretty sure He knows what I am thinking.
I feel His Presence more and more, and it gets confusing at times. I don't know why; I should be thrilled. Being good is not always fun; moreover, the guilt I feel for doing wrong is unbelievable - even the smallest things.
I know God has His own timeframe. I am thinking out loud, maybe this will help somebody. He is probably testing my faith again, and I flunked; or testing my patience. I get like this from time to time - the endless rambler.
I just get confused sometimes. God will let me know if there will be a third book. I have reread this, and I am starting to sound weird again - right on schedule. I will probably delete this, just like the others, only I am not being too revealing.
I am tired of talking, or writing, or whatever you want to call it. I feel happy and secure with my relationship with Jesus and God; I still haven't learned patience. Oh yeah, my faith still needs to be stronger. All in all, I guess I have to improve, then and only then, will God have confidence in me. Tell God that you love Him.

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Please read your Bible.
