Jonathan…They made their covenant, and then, "David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house." No rescue. Jonathan walked back to Saul's table, David back to hiding. Encouragement does not always change your circumstances. Sometimes a friend simply comes, speaks what is true, and leaves you stronger in the same hard place.

What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?

Let what I believe show up in what I do, in the small costly choices nobody sees. Grow my faith into something that moves, and finish the work you started in me.

Notice Paul asks it about himself. He will not let anyone build an identity around his name. The person who first brought you the gospel was a waiter carrying a meal he did not cook. Thank them. Then look past them.

Thank You for bread on my table, for sweetness to taste, and for enough to send portions to someone who has nothing prepared.

Drove them. Like a shepherd turning the flock the wrong way, and they followed because he was out front. Centuries later it was still being counted against him. Who walks behind you?

Thank you for the protection I will never know about. When I feel exposed, remind me you are already hiding me.
About Faith.Network
The Bible is a book full of wisdom, but sometimes hard to understand. Faith.Network was born from the desire to make that depth accessible to everyone.
We believe technology can help faith grow. By combining the power of smart software with reliable theological sources, we offer explanation, background and context for every verse. So that you do not just read, but truly grow.
Disclaimer: Faith.network uses automated language models to prepare Bible studies and reflections. All content is generated from the Bible text itself and checked daily by an independent, automated quality control: random samples from every language site are scored on faithfulness to Scripture, verbatim Bible quotation, language and clarity, and the results are published unedited. Even so, no explanation is infallible and mistakes can occur. Nothing on this platform constitutes professional advice, and no rights can be derived from its content. Always test what you read against the Bible itself, and use Faith.network as a supplement to — never a replacement for — your own Bible study, prayer and the life of a local church community.
