The covenant of protection.

God’s hand of protection was upon David even while David resided in the home of the king who sought to destroy David.
In the palace of the enemy, with David’s very life in danger every moment, God appointed a covenant promise in the form of friendship. Because of Jonathan’s deep love and commitment to David, he became the vessel of protection for David and the minister of reconciliation. He used his God-given wisdom to try and remove the offense that Saul had fed and allowed to fester with infection.
Through the covenant promise-David’s life was preserved.
We have that same protection today. That protection and covenant is Jesus Himself. It doesn’t matter if we are in the depths of pain, or sorrow, or if our very lives are in battle with the enemy-His protection never leaves. We can hide in His shelter and under the shadow of His Wing.
