Saul is now determined to kill David. So who does David rely upon? Jonathan? No. Himself? No.
David relies on God. In Psalm 59, David refers to God as his fortress. Let's dwell on this analogy a bit. A fortress is a place of refuge. When under attack, it can bring safety. In a fortress is all of our allies - those committed to stand with us. A strong fortress instills confidence against those trying to destroy us.
David saw God as his place of refuge - his place of safety - his place of confidence - his place where his enemies could not get at him.
Do you see God as all of these things for you? God is always with you, but do you ALWAYS sense His presence to give you strength and to keep you safe? If not, then what is your fortress? Many people are always attacking in their own strength or always retreating from the challenges in life to nowhere.
