ADULLAM – a 7-Day Devotional for MenNäide

The God of Community – You Were Never Meant to Stand Alone

The cave was never meant to be a place of bitterness, but a place where God reshapes a man’s heart. David didn’t waste his time in hiding—he sought the Lord, and in doing so, he found strength beyond himself. A real man doesn’t carry his burdens in silence; he cries out to God, knowing that his strength comes from Him alone. When we feel abandoned, God is not absent—He is our refuge, our foundation, and the One who walks with us. But God doesn’t just build men in isolation—He builds them through brotherhood. A man of God cannot walk alone; these men needed David, and David needed them too. We need brothers who will stand with us, strengthen us, and sharpen us for the purpose God has called us to. Brotherhood is not optional—it is essential.

Challenge: Reject passivity. Find godly men who will sharpen you. Isolation is the devil’s playground.

Reflection: Have you sought out true, biblical brotherhood, or have you been hiding in isolation?
