Ziklag
Apr 29, 2025 • Nathan Smalley
The podcast explores the biblical narrative in 1 Samuel 27, where David, driven by fear, seeks refuge among the Philistines in Ziklag. David's initial flight into Philistine territory reveals a moment of wavering faith. Ziklag, a city symbolizing "winding" or "twisting," becomes a temporary refuge but also a place where David's testimony becomes compromised by serving the Philistine king. The episode emphasizes the human struggle between trusting God and succumbing to fear, underscoring the need to seek God's guidance for reclaiming lost ground and returning to the intended path.
