Fasting is often misunderstood. In our culture, it is frequently reduced to a dietary reset, a detox, or a self-improvement challenge. But in Scripture, fasting is something far greater—something sacred. Fasting is worship… A cry. A declaration. A hunger for His presence above all else.

At first glance, David's decision to leave his parents in Moab seems far more troubling than taking a census. Yet Yahweh responds differently to each event. Why?

The answer reveals something profound about the heart of David—and the heart of Yahweh. This study explores the cave of uncertainty, the refining fire of waiting, and the difference between a weary servant crying out for mercy and a king who has begun to trust in his own strength.

David was anointed king, yet hunted like a criminal. He was mocked, rejected, forced into hiding, and treated as though he were unworthy of the very throne Yahweh had promised him. A thousand years later, Yahushua would walk a similar path. Rejected by His own people, mocked by religious leaders, and crucified under a sign proclaiming Him King, Yahushua fulfilled what David could only foreshadow. This study explores the striking parallels between Israel's rejected shepherd-king and the Messiah who came to redeem the world.

If you’ve been watching Amazon’s new show House of David, you might have some of the same questions I do. The series makes several references to King David’s childhood, including the claim that he was a bastard. Like many productions, it takes creative liberties with Biblical history—but it’s crucial that we turn to Scripture to understand the truth of God’s Word.

Let’s be real: in today’s world, submission doesn’t exactly conjure the warm fuzzies. We hear the word, and what comes to mind? Doormat? Weakness? Passivity? For me, it always reminds me of Hillary Clinton’s scorn, during an interview in 1992, when she was asked about the ongoing allegations against her husband, Bill Clinton, and she responded by saying, "I'm not some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette."

Enough said. I’ll let you chew on that for a bit.

David defeated Goliath by trusting in God, not worldly armor. This Bible study shows how Jesus, the Rock, secures our victory in spiritual battles.
