Growth Tip
Jon: This week take some time to be helpful without anyone else knowing about it.
Bradon: Jonathan snuck away with his armour bearer to see what could be done – how they could help. They ended up sparking panic and giving the Israelite army a chance for victory. God used them and they were just trying to be helpful.
Jon: So be secretly helpful this week. Good things will come from it!
