An Attitude of Abigail

I find the story of Abigail intriguing and powerful. There are so many facets to that story and yet I want to briefly talk about Abigail and her actions as we prepare for an incredible Sunday.

In 1 Samuel 25 we read about the story of Abigail, Nabal and David, and in this story we find David and his men had been watching over Abigail’s husbands land and those who worked in the fields.

“Night and day they were a wall around us all the time we were herding our sheep near them.” (vs. 16)

If you read the story you will see Abigail’s actions when her husband Nabal refused to thank David and his men for their protection. Abigail did not lose any time after she heard what Nabal did. She quickly put things together to ride out to David and his men to show her thanks for what they did for her husband and their land.

I challenge you to read what happened in 1 Samuel 25.

This Sunday, May 17th, we have a unique opportunity to thank the men and women who serve us in Law Enforcement. Those who serve to protect us daily and those who have lost their lives in the line of that service.

Today and always, may we express an attitude of Abigail.
