1 Samuel 8:1-9:14; Isaiah 49:1-26; 2 Corinthians 10:1-18
Abigail…and she was a woman of good understanding. 1 Samuel 25:3
I want to be like Abigail as she is described above. Reading further in this chapter we see her helping David in a respectful, gracious way. Her advice kept him from taking revenge on her husband. She was a peacemaker. David also commended her for her wisdom. She fulfilled Col. 4:6: “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt.” It is very easy to speak harshly to someone. But God wants us to have a “meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Pet. 3:4). —Mary Robins
May the mind of Christ, my Saviour,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow’r controlling,
All I do and say. —Kate Wilkinson
