From caves to conflict, worship to waiting, David’s story reminds us that faith isn’t formed on the throne..it’s forged in the hidden years.

Your waiting is not wasted. God is still working.

Bible Rx | Psalm 27 | Confidence While Waiting | Trust in God

What do you do when the battle is real — and God hasn’t changed the circumstances yet?
In this Bible Rx episode, we reflect on Psalm 27, a passage written from the middle of tension, not the end of the story. David doesn’t deny fear, opposition, or uncertainty — instead, he anchors his heart in God’s presence while he waits.
This episode is an invitation to stop rushing outcomes and learn how to remain confident, connected, and grounded in God when answers feel delayed. Psalm 27 reminds us that waiting is not passive when trust is active.
