1 Samuel 14: 29 Jonathan said, “My father has made trouble for the country. See how my eyes brightened when I tasted a little of this honey. "
Jonathan was not pleased that his dad was delaying the attack on Philistine army. He and his armor bearer went over to attack. While they were gone, Saul made an order that no one should eat all day. Jonathan ate honey from the ground. Everyone was horrified and told him why. This is his response.
Jonathan begins to realize that the King isn't always right. This is the necessary beginning to the conflict between Saul and David. Jonathan is able to take David's side, the I
Lord's side, after this. We, too, should question human authority when it doesn't seem to be the right thing to follow.
Prayer: Lord, I will follow You. I will question everything else. If someone has a plan which opposes Your truth, I will stand up for You. It isn't an easy path, but I promise to follow only You.
Amen
