Psalm 145:8
What do you do when anger feels justified? David, future king of Israel, was ready to destroy Nabal’s household after being insulted. But Abigail—a woman of courage and insight—intervened with humility and grace. Her wisdom not only saved lives but also helped David avoid bloodshed and sin. She became a vessel of God’s mercy at a moment when pride could have ruled the day. Today, it’s easy to react impulsively, especially when we feel wronged. But like Abigail, we’re called to pause, listen for God’s guidance, and act with compassion. Are there moments when your temper rises before your spirit listens? God invites us to respond not with rage, but with patience. When we reflect His character—slow to anger and rich in love—we bring peace into tense situations. Choose wisdom over pride today.
