Quality Decisions

Pastor Wesley & Yajhna Sing · 2 min read

“Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them. Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good. So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.”
1 Samuel 25v18

This was a wise woman for sure. Her husband messed with David and his men and David was about to take him out. The servants notified their mistress of the impending danger to their master and she wisely came out ahead to pacify David and his men. Her decision saved her husband and her household. Her husband later died because of his stupidity but she found favour with David because of her decision.

It is always wise to consider the facts. If someone around you has made a poor decision try your best to help ease the situation. Your decision affects your future. Consider wisely.
