David was anointed to be the king of Israel, yet, he finds himself on the run because King Saul sought to kill him. For a moment, David became a prodigal son, inspired by fear over his own life. At the cave of Adullam, David comes back, and although he remains in hiding, his position or stronghold is no longer that secret as king Saul continually gets wind of his whereabouts.
David learns to inquire of the Lord, and allow God to lead him. He becomes the commander of an army made up of 'the deplorable of Israel" and with that, larns to rule. In his wilderness/cave, David holds firm to the word of prophecies spoken over him by prophet Samuel, and the songs of victory sand by the women of Israel in his victories, and refuses to take matters in his own hands. Rather, he remains loyal to the current king, and wages war from God's perspective.
May you hold firm to the words spoken over you, but not striking back to your adversaries.
May you stand firm, not by speaking your mind, but rather, remaining still in the Lord, knowing that He who spoke, will see it come to pass.
He has overcome the world, this is the evidence that we hold to - the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.
