In our previous study, we began 1 Samuel 25 and took note of the marks of a fool found in Nabal (strength without love, courage without wisdom, wealth without generosity, and desire without self-control). David and his men had protected Nabal’s immense herds and shepherds in the wilderness areas. When David made a reasonable request for provisions, Nabal responded selfishly and erratically. David, who has been chased and tested by Saul’s pursuit, responds with a quick and rash oath of violence. War is coming, but one woman’s wisdom and discernment stands in the way of disaster. From this event, we learn the importance of offering and applying godly wisdom when He brings it in the form of godly advice.

Scripture References: Leviticus 19:18, James 1:19-20, 1 Samuel 23:4, 1 Samuel 23:2, Proverbs 15:22-33, Romans 12:16-19, 1 Samuel 25:1-44, Deuteronomy 32:35-43
