Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul – Psalm 142:4
David went from playing music in the public court of the king to praying for his life in the lonely confines of a cave. Did this happen because he did anything wrong? Not at all! It happened because the king was jealous of him – he was jealous of his accomplishments and the fact that David’s fame was growing. David found himself in a cave because the king wanted to end his life. When the king turned against David, many people that David knew turned their backs on him and went into self-preservation mode; they did not want to risk the wrath of the king. Let me ask you: Have you been treated unfairly like David? Are you being persecuted or deserted because you chose to do what is right? If so, take heart from David’s cave experience. He did not stay in the cave but ended up becoming king just as God promised! Take heart from knowing that no man can stop God’s promises from coming true in your life.
A man’s wrath may send me into a cave, but no man can make me stay there
