Religion & Spirituality
The best spiritual guard for you and me is to remain perpetually in God's will, because we have no idea when the enemy's attack is going to come. If you are perpetually in God's will then it won't matter when the enemy attacks, or how the enemy comes, you'll be able to withstand it by the grace of God. While David is trying to obey God's command for him to stay in Judah, he is also trying his best to avoid conflict with Saul. This proves to be difficult because Saul is literally hunting David down every day. God intervenes in 2 incredible ways by sending Jonathan to be a source of encouragement and strengthening, as well as interrupting Saul in a critical moment. You don't need to be cleaver, you just need to be blessed by God. When we live in submission and obedience to God, we position ourselves to receive His blessings.
