The logical choice seemed to present itself to David in the cave. Saul against and army, and better yet, he was not aware of the threat. It appears that the counsel David received was to take Saul's life. It seems that even David thought this was his way out of living in caves. Even in hindsight, Saul would be surprised because he would have taken his life in that case. Sometimes the logical choice is not the best choice. Even when all the counsel is prodding you to take a certain direction. Some choices are best made between you and God.
Verse five says that David was "conscience-stricken" after cutting the corner of Saul's robe. It is my belief that in that exact moment, David was faced with the moment of choice of the person he will choose to be. In those moments, things become clear and the choice, although it may not be the logical one. It is the obvious one.
"Father, help me follow You at times, when logic doesn't make sense."
Heart and Soul,
