1 Sa 21:14-15

Then Achish said to his servants,
“Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?

“Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence?
Shall this one come into my house?”

“Do I lack madmen…?”
That is great.

David leaves and hides.
In a cave.
Sequestered for lack of a better term.

What was going on?

Read the next verses…

1 Sa 22:1

So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam;
and when his brothers and all his father’s household heard of it, they went down there to him.

Everyone who was in distress,
and everyone who was in debt,
and everyone who was discontented gathered to him;
and he became captain over them.
Now there were about four hundred men with him.

David escaped.
He hid.
His family heard where he was.
They went to him…interesting…

Then…
Everyone in distress.
Everyone who was in debt.
Everyone who was discontented.
They gathered to David.
He led them…about 400 men.

We see this today.

Folk are in distress…in debt…discontented.
Physically.
Spiritually.

David is a typological picture of Messiah yet to come - Jesus.

The people ran to him.

We must run to Him.

Many are/will.

I spoke with a gentleman yesterday. He has had some transformation/insight during this time of isolation…been watching/listening to some true biblical preaching/teaching. He is now wondering how he can “go back” to the powerless/goody goody readings from “his church”. He is thinking that he needs to find a “new church”, but he loves the people/friends in his current situation.

Many are in this “cave”.

What to do?

Trust the Lord.
Rest in the Lord.
Be the church.
Learn the truth.
Speak the truth.
Be the vessel of the Power and Presence of the Most High that He is calling and empowering you to be.
Do not wait for organizational directives.
Be the Kingdom.
Watch what the Lord does…
