Contemplative Bible Reading

Jonathon’s father was the King. Jonathon was close to his father. They went into life-and-death combat side by side fighting for their nation.

Jonathon’s father was wrong (when it came to David). Jonathon did what was right (when it came to David). Was Jonathon’s actions easy? No, they were terribly difficult.

How easy is it to go against your parents when they are wrong? How easy is it to go against someone you love when they are wrong?

Sometimes we have to do these difficult things. Sometimes we have to disagree with a parent, a child, someone we love. They are human; they sin and fall short sometimes. At those times we have to disagree. This is not easy; this is not enjoyable, and this may not all work out wonderfully in the end like in the movies.
