1 Samuel 18-20
What God said to me – Look at the relationship of Saul and David compared to the relationship of Jonathan and David. One was based on actions and feelings and the other was based on covenant and devotion. Are you a Saul or a Jonathan in your relationship with Me? Do you come to Me when you feel like it or when I have answered your prayers the way you wanted? Or do you come to Me because you are wholly devoted to Me no matter how things are going in your life? I want a relationship with you based on covenant and devotion, not based on your ever-changing emotions. I want you to trust Me when your prayers are not answered in the way you want or expect. I want you to be devoted to Me not because of My performance, but because of your love for Me. “I AM” devoted to you not because of your performance, but because of My love for you.
