David went to the Philistine's territory which was ruled by a King called Achish in order to get out of Saul's reach. So Saul gave up on pursuing David. While he was there, he worked steadily to rid the Israelites from the Philistines but lied to Achish and said he was working to build up the Philistine kingdom. Achish believed him. He had Achish fooled.
I guess the lesson I get from this one is that David was remaining patriotic, even though he was a fugitive, and God was blessing him for it.
Thought for the day: Always stay patriotic to your home country. God gave this to you as a gift, and He put you there for a reason. The best thanks you can give Him is to protect it and to love it.
