A Cave of Transformation

 David submitted to God’s transforming process during times of isolation. As I have spent many hours studying the life of David for a book I am writing I have become firmly convinced that many of David’s positive character traits were forged in times of isolation. He was certainly not perfect but God testified that he was a man ‘’after his own heart.” (Acts 13:22-23)  Scripture records that David was a man of integrity.
And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules, 1 Kings 9:4 
The word integrity comes from the Latin word "integer" which refers to the whole of anything, like a whole number as opposed to a fraction. Similarly, we talk about a whole person who is undivided; a person who is the same in private as in public; a person where actions match his or her talk. God is longing and hoping to build uprightness and integrity in us, our families and churches during this time of crisis and isolation.
