2 Sam 13:12 She answered him, “No, my brother, do not violate [1] me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this outrageous thing. 13 As for me, where could I carry my shame? And as for you, you would be as one of the outrageous fools in Israel.
This above passage set the background of the story.
It is about logic and feeling.
The feeling overwhelm Amnon (one of David's son) that he violate Tamar. Tamar's brother Absalom being logical later killed Amnon.
The strugle for a decision that is based either on logic and what is based on feeling is always presence. Some like me uses more logic.
What is the Lord teaching me here? A number of time is not about logic or about feeling. It is about a decision based on the word of God. It is not only about right or wrong, but also what is wise of unwise. David has a chance and a choice to kill Saul, but did not do so because he refused to kill somone whom God has anointed.
Decision is also not about good or bad, but also based on strong or weak and true or false. Jesus will choose to be at the well where He met the Samaritan woman under the strong noon day, instead of being in a sheltered cool nearby town. No logic, not wise, but it is good (because PDA), strong.
I pray and surrender my struggle between logic and feelings. Give me more than just logic and let the decision I made based on what is best not only for myself, the people around me as well as the organization. A personal sacrifice would be better for the people and the organzation at times. It is not all about me, but it is about the Lord Jesus.
