God told David that Saul would come and that the people would certainly give him up. Had David been a fatalist who believed that the future was “set in stone” and that God was telling him events as He viewed them in the eternal now, then David would have stayed in Keilah to await his doom. Instead, David and his men wisely left the city and none of the things that God said would take place ever did. David changed his action which, in turn, changed a potential future.
