The Meeting

29. July 2009 by Bernice Davis.

Hello: 

Our text for today is: 

I Samuel 20:35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him, 36 and he said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 37 When the boy came to the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?” 38 Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don’t stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master. 39 (The boy knew nothing of all this; only Jonathan and David knew.) 40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.” 41 After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together–but David wept the most. 42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.  

As you can see from our text this is the encounter between David and Jonathan after Jonathan found out that his father was really trying to kill David.   Tomorrow, we will continue our journey on David’s test and trials as he awaits the promise and destiny that is on his life. 

It is amazing how David is to be the next king and yet he has so much hell to go through before the plan of God on his life is manifested.    

SOUNDS FAMILIAR????
