Later David’s son, Solomon wrote, “A man of too many friends
comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
(Proverbs 18:24, NASB) Surely, Solomon must have heard the stories about the
great friendship between his father and his dear friend and all that they endured
together. It was not an easy friendship, and things happened that would shatter
most relationships. But these men remained strong together and their love
endured.
Beyond them, we all have things that come into our lives
that can shake us at our cores. The question is whether you have someone who is
or can be that faithful friend who you will stand with your like a Jonathan? God
loves us this way. But what about someone with flesh and blood who along with God
the three of you can endure all things? Solomon also wrote, “And if one can
overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not
quickly torn apart.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NASB)
We are not intended to walk alone.
