Please read 1 Samuel 29.

Meditate on verse 2.
And the lords of the Philistines were proceeding on by hundreds and by
thousands,
and David and his men were
proceeding on in the rear with Achish.
Picture this impossible situation. After taking
refuge among the Philistines for at least two years, David and his 600 men were
tagging along with them to fight the Israelites. Achish presumed David to be
loyal to the Philistine cause; the Philistine commanders discerned differently
and refused to take David and his men into battle with them. The LORD used
pagans to keep David from being expected to kill his fellow countrymen.
Take encouragement from God’s Word. People who do
not acknowledge the LORD and His Word have surrounded His people throughout
human history. God has and will continue to use the ungodly for His purposes.
He cares for you and prepares a table for you in the presence of your enemies (Psalm
23:5). Jesus prayed for the Father to protect you in His name and to keep you
from the evil one (John 17:11, 15). Trust Him with the impossible situations
you face in the midst of the enemy.
Pray 29:6 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard
as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, let even our enemies say this of ________ and me:
‘As the LORD lives, you have been upright,
and your going out and your coming in with me are pleasing in my sight;
for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to
this day.’
For the glory of Your name, Jesus~”
