Abigail Made Peace With David

1 Sam. 25:18-35

David had protected the sheep of Nabal, husband of Abigail, from robbers in the wilderness. David requested food from Nabal, but the latter, instead of repaying the good David had done to him, insulted David. David made up his mind to punish Nabal; made up his mind to kill all males in Nabal’s household. When Abigail heard of it, she hurried to make peace with David. She took with her provisions of food and drink which David had requested. She humbled herself before David and appealed to David’s sense of righteousness, honor and gallantry. By so doing she delivered her household from the impending disaster. She first warded off the disaster before apportioning blame. Don’t be quick to apportion blame, first seek to enthrone peace.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: Seeking peace with people can save you from unnecessary problem.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: I receive the grace to humble myself to seek for peace in Jesus’ name.
