Reading 1 Samuel 25:23-22 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. When we are headed in a direction, He knows isn’t good for us, He sends people to talk some sense to us. We are responsible for our response. The LORD kept David from murder and taking vengeance into his own hands. David can choose to fight his own battles based on his offense or fight the LORD’s battles. David being in situations that cause frustration. Even though the Spirit of the LORD was on David, he was still falling into the temptation to return to the pattern of the judges when everyone was doing what ever they thought was best. A life pattern of selfishness and overconsumption brought Nabal down.
