Take My hand and let Me lead you. Do not be disturbed by your earthly circumstances nor by the unexpected twists and turns in the path set before you. The path is straight despite how you see it through the demands of this world; the tugging and pulling of good works rather than My works.
Keep close and listen to My voice. Hold My hand so that you are always aligned to My purpose. I know that it can sometimes feel like you are playing a game of ‘Twister’ as earthly demands exert their pull on you. Do not let go of My hand so that I can lead you and reveal to you how to navigate all of this “stuff.”Come, let us go forward together!

Read 1 Samuel 14:8-14 in your preferred translation aloud. In this passage, Jonathan speaks with confidence as he demonstrates that he knew his authority rested in God. Spend some time asking Holy Spirit to speak and guide you as you study this passage. Ask for the gift of confidence to be bold in following the Lord’s leading.
8 Jonathan said, “See now, we are going to cross over to the [Philistine] men and reveal ourselves to them.
9 If they say to us, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.
10 But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ we will go up, for the Lord has handed them over to us; and this shall be the sign to us.”
11 When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.”
12 So the men of the garrison responded to Jonathan and his armor bearer, “Come up to us and we will tell you something.” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Climb up after me, for the Lord has given them into the hands of Israel.”
13 Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, his armor bearer following after him. The enemy fell before Jonathan [in combat], and his armor bearer killed some of them after him.
14 That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a [plow] furrow in a plot of land [the area of which a yoke of oxen could plow in a day].
