Soul mates, Jonathan and David. Many people have a difficult time understanding the feelings between these two men. Is it because we are so busy with our lives that we don’t develop those kinds of friendships? Is it because we are connected by trivial pursuits only? Is it because we are so self-centered? Just what is it about the friendship between Jonathan and David that people don’t get?  It certainly was NOT a homosexual relationship.

“Saul was very angry…” He let pride creep in. What a contrast with Saul's feelings toward David and Jonathan’s feelings toward David.

Interesting that David was asked to bring Saul a gift of 100 and David brought 200. Sounds like David really wanted Michal in marriage.  However, Saul had promised his daughter in marriage to the man who defeated Goliath.

Could it be that the evil spirit from the Lord that came upon Saul was so that David would be favored by the people? By the time David became king most of the people were already in David’s “camp”.

There is mention in today's reading of a New Moon festival. The months of the Hebrews were lunar months, and they marked them from new moon to new moon. On these new moons they offered sacrifices, and had a feast. (Numbers 10:10 and 28:11).

Even Saul began prophesying when he went to Ramah for David. He was speaking God’s words. Too bad he wasn’t thinking God’s thoughts.

How goes it with us as Believers? Do we think God's thoughts or are we giving "lip service"?
