Summary

In this episode, Adam Patel invites you to follow David through a journey of trial and apparent defeat. For what seems like an eternity, David had been running from Saul—not in a game of hide-and-seek, but for the preservation of his very life. Now completely exhausted and worn beyond what he has ever experienced, David runs toward the people, the very enemies He had once boldly slain for the honor, glory, and vindication of God. David—like many of us—had one foot in, one foot out; but the mercy of God was sufficient for him, and as He is the same yesterday, today, and forever—it is sufficient for us.
