And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God. 1 Samuel 23:16
Saul was out of control. His greatest desire was to find David and to kill him. No matter what God had said, Saul did not want the kingdom to pass to this worthless shepherd from a tiny town in Judah. Everywhere he looked was a dead end; Saul couldn't find David anywhere.
David was on the run. Six hundred men were with him, but still he felt alone. Finding a place to hide for the day was the norm. How could he continue to elude Saul and his army? Again and again he questioned God's will. This wasn't what David expected.
Out of the blue in the middle of this story with David hiding and Saul seeking, Jonathan appears on the scene. I find it interesting that Saul cannot find David anywhere, but Jonathan when straight to him. David needed encouragement, and God knew it. Although He had hidden David from Saul, the Lord showed Jonathan exactly where to find him.
Isn't that just like God? When we are walking in His will, there will be enemies who would seek to harm us. But if we are truly walking with Him, those would harm us will not find us. And those who will encourage us know exactly where we are.
Lord, no matter how alone I feel, there is nowhere I can go where You and Your encouragers will not find me. Thank You for keeping me hidden from the enemy. Thank You for showing those who love me exactly where I am. I am never alone when I walk in Your will. Help me to walk on Your path today.
