Read this first: 1 Samuel 28:2
Achish commanded David to serve in his army. David's reply is ambiguous, since his plan is to defeat this enemy. Achish mistakenly hears the reply postively. Speaking clearly and honestly greatly helps relationships. But sometimes, as Jesus showed (John 16:25), our words must be more cautious, especially with those we do not trust. May God help us be wise in our words.
Based on the sermon “Living with the enemy”
