Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 14 of 1 Samuel. Jonathan decides to approach the Philistine garrison accompanied only by his armor-bearer. His confidence is expressed in the statement that nothing prevents the Lord from saving by many or by few. He proposes a sign, not as an attempt to control God, but as a way of discerning whether they should advance. The episode presents active faith that recognizes divine sovereignty without falling into passivity. Jonathan acts courageously while explicitly leaving the outcome in the Lord’s hands.
