1 Samuel 25:1-44 MSG
God works in unexpected ways to bring about a wife for David. This woman, Abigail, was wise, smart, and had a lot of common sense. Nabal had greatly offended David and his men by reacting selfishly towards all the good deeds and protection that David had performed to protect him and his livestock. God did not take it lightly when Nabal was not willing to even share a meal with David and his men. He showed no appreciation nor gratitude for David’s good deed.
Abigail knew better than to ignore the grace that had been extended to Nabal and their entire family. She shows up by giving a feast for David and his men instead of ignoring the protection and grace that they had offered to Nabal. The next day Abigail told Nabal what she had done, and how she had taken them a feast.
It was her act of kindness and generosity that had saved their lives from potential revenge from David. Nabal fell back in his chair with a stroke and ten days later was dead. When David heard what had happened he went back and invited Abigail to be his wife. God works in mysterious ways to bring about blessings and favor and his will for our lives.
Yes…she was a beautiful lady in more ways than one, and God brought her to David as a blessing to be his wife. Friend, allow God to bring about your potential spouse without your having to work frantically to find them. I’m not sure that all your worries, online experiences and connection are what God has in mind to bring about His divine purpose in that area of your life.
Let God instruct you and lead you in the way you should go. Little did David know that by his good deeds and just living a Godly life would bring about such a blessing, but it happened. He can do the same for you!
