Life is filled with many ups and downs; highs and lows. Perhaps no one in Scripture exemplifies this better than David. That's right, the giant-slaying shepherd boy. As we read the narrative of his life in Scripture, we see remarkable highs and regrettable lows, but perhaps none was as dramatic as the descent he experienced after he defeated Goliath. He went from celebrated to isolated, and because of King Saul's jealousy, David went from living in the palace with his wife, to living in a cave...alone. Yet, as we look closer, we see God using this time of isolation to produce a transformation in David. And just maybe, God can use our time in lonely places to do the same in us as well.
