I want to preach to someone here tonight who has found themselves in some type of cave…
(NLT) — 1 So David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam.
Soon his brothers and all his other relatives joined him there.....
KEY- The cave represents a place of seclusion, a place where nothing grows, a place where there is no light, a place that feels and looks hopeless.
It is symbolic of a hideout of retreat of seclusion.
Sometimes even with all our knowledge of victory that is ours we find ourselves backed into a cave…
When our worries become weighty we often find ourselves in a cave…
When our struggle become significant we find ourselves retreating to a cave…
When our frustrations become our focus we desire a new change of scenery and thats often in a cave…
(NLT) — .
....Soon his brothers and all his other relatives joined him there......
QUESTION- I wonder what soon was???
Sometimes we just read the bible and we so quickly run over key words…
...2 Then others began coming—men who were in trouble or in debt or who were just discontented—until David was the captain of about 400 men.
KEY- David did not meet his brothers in the cave, David did not stumble upon some great army upon entering a cave.
David walked into a cave alone.
***DAVID WALKED INTO A CAVE ALONE***
KEY- Some of you are still at, “soon.”
Soon you will see what you’ve been waiting for, soon you will see your answer to prayer, soon you will know the next step.
KEY POINT- There will be times you will walk into a cave alone, but if God is involved you won’t walk out alone.
3 Later David went to Mizpeh in Moab, where he asked the king, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
POINT- David had no idea what the next step was.
CHALLENGE- When you don’t know what God is doing don’t give up, just keep doing what he last told you.
4 So David’s parents stayed in Moab with the king during the entire time David was living in his stronghold.
KEY- What was once a lonely cave became a great stronghold.
KEY- Caves also represent throughout God’s word a place of devotion, rest, protection, and planning.
It was in a cave that God protected Moses as his glory passed by.
It was in a cave that God protected Moses as his glory passed by.
It was in a cave God spoke to David.
It was in a cave God spoke to Elijah.
5 One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave the stronghold and return to the land of Judah.”
So David went to the forest of Hereth.
6 The news of his arrival in Judah soon reached Saul.
At the time, the king was sitting beneath the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, holding his spear and surrounded by his officers.
