High school graduation marks a time of transition from dependence to independence. And such a transition comes with extraordinary challenges, particularly when it comes to your faith. No one knows this better than David. David’s greatest achievement, the defeat of Goliath, occurred when he was about the age of our graduating seniors. But following the spiritual and social high of defeating Goliath, David quickly found himself at an all time low as he fled from Saul. And during this downward trajectory, David’s faith was put to the test because, as one author said, “God begins to pull the crutches from beneath David, one by one.”
