Moments of decision. Your life is full of them. They can be as intense as a cruciblea vessel in a refining fire, a place where precious substances are tested, purified, and strengthened. When the heat is turned up, impurities rise to the surface and elements change. And one thing is for certain: nothing comes out of the crucible the same as it went in. That's a picture of the process God uses in our lives. When the heat is on, whatever is in our hearts rises to the surface. What decisions will we make? What kind of character develops within us? How will we respond to the pressure? The answers to these questions will profoundly shape our future.This study explores the answers to those questions in the life of David. The shepherd-turned-king, the "man after God's own heart," faced a series of crucible moments that both reflected his heart and formed it, and he altered the course of history. God's methods worked then, and they work in your life too. The choices you make in your crucible moments matter. And they will change your life forever.
