In 1 Samuel 18:20-26, the story revolves around the themes of loyalty, love, and social status. A practical way to respond to this teaching is to actively seek ways to support and uplift those around you who might be in a lower social position or facing challenges.

For instance, consider volunteering your time or resources to help someone in need—whether it’s mentoring a younger person, assisting a colleague at work, or participating in community service. By doing so, you demonstrate kindness and solidarity, fostering connections and empowering others. This act not only benefits those receiving help but also enriches your own life by creating a sense of purpose and community. Engaging in such acts can create a ripple effect, encouraging others to do the same and promoting an environment of mutual respect and support.
