Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

1 Samuel 25:19

For Meditation

… To tell OR not to tell…

… Danger looms…

… Time, of the essence…

… Leadership, on critical demand…

… Initiative, a pearl here…

… Husband, intransigent – more than that, foolish…

… Provision, available and abundant … Give her applause – excellent housekeeping…

… Servants, ready to cooperate – excellent leadership…

… The enemy, racing down their neck…

… Where is the head of the household?

… In the house holding a banquet like that of a king … in high spirits and getting drunk…

… Is it the right time to reason with him?

… So, what do you do? … Hold counsel with husband darling in such that state?  

… So, “she did not tell her husband” (1 Sam. 25:19).

… It’s a situational call, people!

… Don’t blame Abigail – wisdom on display.

… Deal with the situation … Remove the danger … Tell later.

… That’s the Abigail Rule!

… That’s the deal that saved the day in Nabal’s home … it is the deal that will save yours every time.

… You who failed to lead, don’t blame the lady.

… Give her a bouquet of roses and hug her.

… Then, pray the Lord to give you such wisdom … it will change your destiny.
