Abigail: A Woman of Wisdom
Abigail: A Woman of Wisdom1 Samuel 25:14-17,23-28,32-35The choices we make can put us on the path of wisdom or on the path of folly. One way leads to life while the other leads to death.Step in to keep a bad situation from getting worse.In 1 Samuel 25, we encounter three people: Nabal on the path of foolishness;Abigail on the path of wisdom; and David wavering between the two paths.In 1 Samuel 25, we will see how Abigail intervened in the life of David when he was headed toward foolishness and destruction. We will learn how God wants to use us to intervene in the lives of others.We must employ discernment and listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit when deciding how to intervene.Abigail was intelligent or discerning.Abigail showed humility and respect. Abigail went in person to talk to David. David agreed with Abigail by crediting the Lord God of Israel as the One who prevented him from making a disastrous decision.Father, give us the wisdom and courage we need to step into harm’s way to avert the consequences of poor decisions made by others.
