And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭19‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be put to death.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭19‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Reflection:
God works in our lives through both discipline and humbling. His discipline corrects our actions like a loving father, while humbling—as seen in Saul's prophesying—strips away our pride and reminds us of our proper place before Him. Both are acts of divine love offering us the path to repentance and restoration."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

1 Samuel 18:3 - Day #143

Would you risk everything—even a kingdom—for your best friend? That's exactly what Jonathan did for David, and it might just revolutionize how you think about friendship.

“Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.”

1 Samuel 18:3 ESV

We've traded being known for being found. Yet when we risk being truly known—like David and Jonathan—we find support during life's storms. This week, choose one person: share deeply, listen fully, and rediscover what it means for souls to be knit together.

And David said, “The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!”

1 Samuel 17:37 ESV

Past Proves Faithful:
Just as God has seen me through past triumphs, I trust He'll guide me now. My memories of His faithfulness then give me confidence He'll be faithful today. Like David with his lions and bears, I've seen God show up before and know He'll show up again.
