1st Samuel 18-22

Listen as I read chapters 18-22, these chapters detail Saul's slow evolution into madness, as David's success becomes meteoric. I am always amazed at Jonathan's love and friendship of David, we could all learn from that kind of devotion. these chapters also show that despite being successful and having God with him, David did not have an easy time. Saul is constantly trying to kill him, other people are dying because they refuse to turn David in, Jonathan's relationship with his father is broken because of his loyalty to David. It's a great analogy for being a Christian, because being a Christian does not mean you're going to have an easy life, actually it's the opposite. Being a Christian guarantees that your life will now face some hardships. You may have to end a friendship, or a relationship because of your belief in Jesus Christ, and all I can say to you kids is, choose Jesus over everything.
