We see the folly of Israel putting their faith in a man as they are defeated and Saul dies at the hand of the Philistines. We put our confidence in God instead. His will is for us to be faithful like Jonathan. As God kept His word about Saul’s judgement, so He also keeps His word about salvation. If we fall into sin it brings dishonour on God’s name. We continue being faithful and valiant for the Lord, as the men of Jabesh were.
