The Assignment Bureau (Part 2)


In 1 Samuel 18:1-4, Jonathan, the son of King Saul, becomes assigned to David.

The Bible says that “when [David] had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David . . . Then Jonathan made a covenant with David . . . Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, including his sword and his bow and his belt.” In 1 Samuel 20, Jonathan then warns David that Saul intends to kill him, allowing David to flee the land from harm.

There are certain people you are assigned to help - through your knowledge, wisdom, and/or resources. But in order to recognize these opportunities, you've got to be open to give of yourself.

It's not always about what you can get from other people. It's about what you give (Acts 20:35).

God bless,
J.W.
