Many heroes of the faith, including Saul, experienced seasons away from the limelight so that God could deepen their faith and prepare them for ministry. Saul traded busyness and prestige for solitude and obscurity in Arabia.

Saul’s time away, described briefly in Galatians 1, transformed him. He learned to be still and know God.

Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll in this humble admonition to simplify your life, seek solitude, and accept obscurity, knowing it deepens your faith.
