How to be a True Friend

1st Samuel chapter 23 verses 15 to 35

A Practical Study by Dr Nick Needham

Saul hunts David in the wilderness but cannot find him. Jonathan his son, David's friend knows where he is and goes to meet him. Jonathan stands out as a man of God for we find that he reminds David of the promises of God and we read "and strengthened his hand in God". Here we learn how to be a true friend. Here we find a reminder of the humility of Jonathan and encouragement given to learn from the lesson and apply it in our own lives.
