MAINTAINING OBJECTIVITY

Read: 1 Samuel 20:1-9

Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you." (1 Samuel 20:4)

Bible in a year: Zechariah 10-12

While on lectures at the university, there is a word that is often repeated by my professors in the classroom: objectivity. Objectivity is one of the most important principles for the candidate's media staff. When discussing with colleagues from science, it appears that the same principle also echoed in his class. According to the professors there, objectivity is the key to success of a researcher. It seems, the principle of objectivity has become a "golden rule" in any field. 

One time, David complained openly to Jonathan about the attitude of his father, Saul. As time went on, it became clear that Saul saw David as a threat to his throne.  From here we learn from Jonathan objective manner. He does not directly indicate the attitude of annoyance to David for accusing his father. On the other hand, he is also not directly provoked by David to follow the overthrow Saul. 

With the principles of objectivity and knowledge that David was in the right, Jonathan asked David, who was frantic, to find the best way. Finally, we know that Jonathan had managed to save the life of David, who later became a great king in Israel, even for that he must sacrifice his own chances to ascend the throne.

Objective attitude can bring real change in this life. A person who is objective will try to put themselves in a neutral position, did not take sides. From there, anyone can give contribution and positive solutions to the struggles of people around him. God was pleased through it - OLV
