How To Behave In A Cave
Contributed on Mar 2, 2014
When all your crutches are gone and you feel your life is being lived in a cave, then David has some lessons to teach us. First, he shows us how to react, then he shows us who we will attract.
How to Behave in a Cave 1 Samuel 22:1-2 When we ended our study last week, we saw how God had taken everything away from David. We saw how David lost every crutch he had that could have taken the place of God. He lost his position, his wife, his prophet, his friend Jonathan and finally his ...read more
