Awake My Soul by the band Mumford and Sons begs the question, how can we keep our faith when all the rules of our religion have seemingly failed us? (At least that's how I'm interpreting this piece of art.) 

In a similar way, David is confronted with a strange moment in a cave. He's followed all the rules, done everything his king and country have asked of him and rose to prominence, but now he's being stalked by Saul the king, who wants to kill him. And in this cave, David has Saul within his sights - he could kill Saul. 

But love compels him to chart a different course. In Psalm 57, we read David's anguish and hope while hiding out in the cave. 

We will all have times in life when the path we thought doesn't work anymore, when following the rules has failed us. What then? What will be our next step? Will we keep our soul or lose it down a path of vengeance and despair? Or like David, will we choose for this to be the moment that our soul is awoken to love?!
