Please read 1 Samuel 25.

Meditate on verses 32-33.

Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel,

 who sent you this day to meet me, and blessed be your discernment,

 and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed

 and from avenging myself by my own hand.”

When David was in a murderous rage, God sent Abigail to keep him from sinning. David wisely listened to the counsel of this God-given advisor. Abigail’s interruption paused David long enough to think before he did something regrettable.

There is much to learn from this story and virtuous Abigail. Abigail was submissive, bold, intelligent, diplomatic, and brilliant. Be mindful when God sends people like her into your life; learn from them and emulate their Godly characteristics. Thank the LORD when He interrupts your life with “Abigails” sent to keep you from the regrettable.

Pray 1 Samuel 25:32-33 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“I bless You, LORD God of Israel, for sending _________ to meet me.

Blessed be their discernment, and bless them for keeping me

 from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

LORD, make _______ and me that kind of people,

people of discernment that keeps others from sinning.

In Your name, Jesus~”
