It's been said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And though it is actually not often true, because sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your enemy too. The truth is that God sometimes uses people that we wouldn't expect to help us. In this story, Saul is pursuing David. And what saves David? The Philistines. The Philistines, who are attacking a different place in the kingdom, cause Saul to leave and thus allowing David to escape.
And I find this is interesting because God often uses methods we wouldn't expect to take care of his people. God used Roman imprisonment to get Paul into Rome. God used people in ways that we wouldn't expect in the Bible and in history.
God uses things we don't understand for his good. That is why we must always trust that God will take care of it, even when things look bad. Because he promises he'll work it out. And who knows, he may actually use your enemies to protect you from other enemies, like he did for David here. Yes, the enemy of your enemy might be your enemy, but God could use them to protect or deliver you, so just keep trusting.
