"Then David arose and went over with 600 men who were with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath....Now the time David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months."
I Samuel 27:2, 7
This was a dark time in David's history when he fled from his own country and dwelled in the enemy's territory. In order to supply his army with food, he attacked neighboring cities in the area. He would then kill everyone – men and women – so that no one could report to Achish what he had done. When Achish would asked him what he was doing, David would say he was attacking cities in Judah, his own country. So he shed innocent blood, and then lied about it in order to be accepted by Achish. A murderer and a liar. Leaving God's country and dwelling in the enemy's country will cause a person to do bad things just to be accepted.
Today's Thought: A person who wants to be accepted by the world will do bad things.
Have a godly day. Love you.
