The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 88
Then Saul became angry with Jonathan and shouted, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you are siding with Jesse’s son to your own shame and to the disgrace of your mother?
1 Samuel 20:30
Desperate people live in drama. They live there! Saul was desperate; he could feel the change that was in the air. Jonathan was in the middle of this drama by his own volition. Jonathan was in the middle but not caught; he chose to be there. People who choose how they will live can choose where they won’t live.. A real friend will choose truth and love in the middle of hate and drama. Jesus went there for you and me. The question is, would you go there for Jesus? Without losing control of his thoughts or emotions, Jonathan stood for truth in love. Look for these qualities in learning to be a friend and choosing friends. It’s difficult to be the friend of a man caught up in drama.
