Psalm 39:1–2
What does it mean to fall with honor? In 1 Samuel 31, Saul and Jonathan meet their end on Mount Gilboa. The silence of God is deafening as Saul, once chosen, falls by his own sword. It’s a sobering moment—one where pride, fear, and disobedience converge into tragedy. But even here, there’s something to learn. Jonathan remains faithful to his father until the end, and though Saul’s fall is painful, it serves as a warning to all who rely on self instead of God. Pride isolates, but humility invites God’s presence. In a world chasing recognition, we’re called to remember: true strength kneels. When we face silence, failure, or loss, let it lead us not to despair but to the quiet place where God revives the humble heart and breathes life again.
