1 Samuel 27 - Fear’s Compromise in David’s Exile

When fear overwhelms faith, we make choices we later regret. David fled to enemy

territory among the Philistines, doubting God's protection after years of divine deliverance.

For sixteen months, he lived a double life—raiding God's enemies while deceiving King Achish.

Though God's promise to make David king remained certain, fear caused him to compromise and

rely on deception rather than trust the Lord's faithfulness and perfect timing for his destiny.
