I hope some one can help with this problem.

All has been good with this vehicle good battery good power to all dash lights head lights and been starting fine. This afternoon after a good drive into work this morning I went to start him up to go to lunch and all the dash lights and the ding ding and everthing is all good power but no power is getting to the starter. After rocking and pulling on cables and putting into park and back to drive and back to park and even trying to jump him off ....nothing. So I go inside to get a mat to lay on so I can check the starter and possibly tap the solenoid. I get in him to put him in netural and figure well I will try again and guess what, he cranks right up.
He is for sure going to do this again, can any one help with a fix please?

one of dozens but id hazard a guess at loose/ bad conections to the starter e a sticky seloniod or the ignition cut out switch on the gear selector

do the cheapest first
