Reading 1 Samuel 25:1-22 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Going through God’s plan can be rough as we learn to know and trust the LORD. David was seeking compensation for doing what he should have been doing anyway, not harassing his neighbors or stealing from them. David decides to take things into his own hands. Nabal being described as hot tempered, unapproachable and unreasonable. God moving in Abigail to be a peacemaker. It is after Samuel’s death that David begins to take vengeance into his own hands. Luke 17:7, Nabal didn’t owe David anything contractually. It is hard to show the love of Jesus to people how repay good with evil. Call on the Holy Spirit to help you show the love of God to the people who treat you poorly.
