Building a King

The Lord's will is to be done!!

18 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. ² From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family. ³ And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. ⁴ Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.

When the Lord is with you, NO ONE is against you. NO ONE. From the moment that David was anointed by  Samuel, everything has been going well, even when the then king, Saul, was against him. Nothing can stand in his way, not goliath, not the philistines, not anyone. Even when Saul was plotting against him, David still triumphed and grew in power instead of falling. One peculiar part of the verse: David became one in spirit with Jonathan and Jonathan became one in spirit with David. Became one in spirit? They must have been very close for the bible to mention them as one in spirit and to be mentioned as he loved him as himself. They were just like brothers. Brothers. Brothers that cannot be separated from each other. They were so close! This describes earthly relations, are we one with God? God wants us to be in one spirit with Him too! David was in one spirit with his brother Jonathan and with God. Both. He is a godly for us to follow! We need to build godly relationships here on earth and with our heavenly Father.
