David is hiding in a cave, uncertain of what comes next. Saul is sitting on the throne, desperately trying to maintain control. One man is learning to trust God’s promises, while the other is allowing pride and insecurity to lead him toward destruction.
In this study of 1 Samuel 22, we follow David from the cave of Adullam as he cares for his family, waits on God’s direction, and learns to walk by faith. Meanwhile, Saul’s growing pride leads to a devastating tragedy at Nob.
Through these contrasting lives, we’re reminded that trusting God doesn’t mean knowing every step ahead. It means clinging to what we know about His character and promises, obeying what He has revealed, and humbly taking responsibility when we fail.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 22
