Today's reading 1Samuel 27
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 1Samuel 27

In 1Samuel 27 David was convincd that Saul would eventually kill him, He fled to the Achish of the Philstines again. David had a spiritual victory in 1 Samuel 26, but in this chapter he fled to Israel's enemies as refuge. Achish trusted David and thought that he would be his servant for ever. This is a bad situation when you run to the enemies of God for refuge instead of running to God. God still preserve David and kept watch over him.

Application:
David got discouraged and very desperate, he fled to the Philistine for refuge from his enemy Saul. David falters in faith, instead of trusting God for his safety, he went to the very enemy who wanted to destroy Israel. We need to go to the Lord for protection rather than trusting in men, especially wioked men.

Verses to meditate on:
1 But David thought to himself, "One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand."
