1Sa 27:1, THEN DAVID SAID IN HIS HEART, “Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is NOTHING BETTER for me than that I should escape…
Trusting in his heart David said there is NOTHING BETTER? Better would be seeking GOD and HIS wisdom! The heart is wicked!
Jer 17:10, “I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
1Sa 27:5, Then David said to Achish, “IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOR IN YOUR EYES, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, that I may dwell there. For why should YOUR SERVANT dwell in the royal city with you?”
David was seeking favor from the enemies of GOD the philistines? This is what happens when you trust your heart rather than the Word of GOD!
1Sa 27:11-12, And David would leave neither man nor woman alive to bring news to Gath, thinking, … And Achish trusted David, thinking, “He has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel…
DAVID WAS LIVING A LIE AND HE KILL ANYONE THAT WOULD TELL ACHISH THE TRUTH! DAVID IS NOW LIVING IN A BACKSLIDEN LIFESTYLES ALL BECAUSE HE TRUSTED IN HIS HEART!
Pro 14:14, The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.
