     | 9,585 views

    David's emotional outpouring as he hides in a cave, with Saul closing in... is heard and answered by God.

    We live in a world full of closed doors, but God did not want the world to be like this.

    You know in many ways, life is all about the doors. We come into doors and go out of doors. We open doors and shut doors. Sometimes, we slam doors, no need to confess, we’ve all done it. And if you really stop to think about it, it’s the closed doors in life that really are the most ...read more
