1 Samuel 23:16-18
16 And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God. 17 “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.” 18 The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.
In this passage David was receiving encouragement from Jonathan who was Saul's son and Saul was out to kill David. Although Jonathan was Saul's son he still stood with and encouraged David, reminding him of the promises of God. When we are faced with giants and there is nothing more to do just stand on the promises of God and believe Him for his word is truth.
As Christians we need to encourage each other to keep going and continue running this race for our reward will be when we meet Jesus.
