Grace for your spirit April 29, 2009

Grace for your spirit

And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David at Horesh, and encouraged him in God.  I Sam 23:16

David was in lots of trouble with King Saul chasing him.  Jonathan made a friendship covenant with David to help him.  His friendship was great, but Jonathan took it a step further.  He encouraged him in God.  Jonathan’s words reminded David of the promises and providence of God in his future. The combination of Jonathan’s love, friendship, and reminder of God’s presence, helped David to be encouraged in his darkest hours.  He never forgot Jonathan, and David honored him in his life and in his death.  Let’s make a covenant with someone today and encourage them in God.  Somebody needs it right now.  God will get the glory, and we will get the benefits.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
