When David runs from Saul, he does something really stupid: he runs to God. In today's world of hyperrationality, belief seems weak and foolish. Belief means not knowing and being okay with that. David believed that God would deliver him, even though he didn't know how. He trusted in God more than he feared Saul. Listen to https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) explain how to believe in God, even when it doesn't seem smart. In this episode, we discuss anxiety.
