The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 127
Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very rich, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats.
1 Samuel 25:2
Life isn’t that complicated if you’re simply observant. There are times when you can see a storm brewing. This is what’s happening here with David and Nabal. A storm is brewing; grief and arrogance were about to meet, and they couldn’t see it. Nothing is more offensive than injustice in the face of grief. And nothing offends more than wealth in the face of arrogance. There will be no prayer, only reaction to each other. David has a right, Nabal has a point, violence is on the horizon, and only the mentally and emotionally intelligent can see it coming. We can’t afford to forget about God at any turn in our lives. We always need His discernment, direction, and dependability. He will always deliver.
