 Do i have a sign stamped on my forehead
saying chase me...

Saul is chasing David still and he's sick of it, feeling the weight and hopelessness of it - when will it stop?!  It's depressing.  Running from place to place trying to get people on your side so they believe you really are innocent and will want to help protect you.  David's a great warrior but weariness had set-in so Jonathan went to him to help him find strength in God (v16).

The Word of Encouragement

v17  "Don't be afraid..."
           Not very convincing when everytime you go somewhere you have to look over your shoulder to see who's following you.  When you don't know who your real friends are?  When you don't know who wants to help you or help Saul?  When you're afraid to go to sleep at night because you can't stop thinking that this might be the one night you slipped up and Saul actually found out where he was... how am i not supposed to be afraid?

v17 "My father Saul will not lay a hand on you.  You will be king..."
          If he won't lay a hand on me then why is he trying so hard to do just that?

 Not exactly "The Word" David was looking for but sometimes there is nothing else to say except be reminded of the favor God placed on your life because the truth is David had to go through the process to become refined.  He had to experience what it is like to overcome and lay down everything.  This he could not run from even though he was ready for it to end.  By allowing the painful process to shape and mold him, David eventually embraced the victory.
