Faith like Jonathan vs Pride like Saul

What happens when faith collides with pride on the battlefield? In this eye-opening devotional, we dive deep into 1 Samuel 14, where two contrasting approaches to crisis emerge through a father and son.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: Jonathan moves in selfless faith while Saul operates from selfish pride. I share a personal story from my high school track days about a coach whose rigid, illogical "preparation plan" mirrors Saul's counterproductive oath—both ended in frustration and were ultimately washed away.
Which approach characterizes your life? Are your plans and promises centered on glorifying God or serving yourself? When we trust God with impossible situations, He often delivers in ways we never imagined possible.
