Jonathan, son of King Saul, summons his armor-bearer to engage the Philistines, who far outnumber the men of Israel (1 Samuel 14:6-7). And Jonathan wants to see if the Lord will act on their behalf.

The “young armor-bearer” responds in a way worthy of note: “Do all that you have in mind. Go ahead, I am with you heart and soul.”

Wow.

Any of us would search the world for a friend who would believe in us like this young man believed in Jonathan.
