Be Humble
Be Humble
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
1 Samuel 25:23, “Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground.”
If you picture this, David’s red hot, he’s angry, and they turn a corner and what do they see? David sees a caravan loaded with donkeys full of supplies, food and all these great things that Nabal should have been giving to David for watching and protecting his flocks. They saw all of this and then at the front of this caravan they saw a woman leading this caravan. When Abigail saw David, she dismounted from the donkey, fell on her face before David and bowed down to the ground showing humility which saved her life and the life of her family.
This stopped David dead in his tracks as she is totally and completely humbling herself before David and trying to make the wrong her husband did to David and his men right.
James 4:10, “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up.”
James 4:6, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
