Read this first: 1 Samuel 29:8
David responds to Achish's honeyed words with an ardent defence of his own honour. His aim is to keep his enemy believing he's loyal even though he isn't. Sadly, deceiving strategies like this are often needed in our world of evil. But there is one who always spoke the truth (Joh 18:37) and, yet, utterly defeated his enemies. With Jesus we don't have to live a life of lies.
Based on the sermon “Trapped in lies”
