The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 80
But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.”
4 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.”
1 Samuel 20:3-4
Don’t bind yourself to emotional decisions. It seems funny that we would be talking about this as believers, but the enemy’s favorite tool is our flesh. We can’t afford to let our lives become captive to emotional decisions. Emotions of feelings are God given and powerful for letting us know what we’re touching or what’s touching us, but they can’t be trusted in the final decision. Johnathon was emotionally attached to his friend and his father. That’s nice, but David’s future hung in the balance. This decision had to be evidential, not emotional. Destiny was at stake. It usually is.
