The Kitchen Table Devotional

David Day 128

Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was discerning and beautiful, but the man was harsh and badly behaved; he was a Calebite.

1 Samuel 25:3

There’s always more to the story than what meets the eye.  Abigail is one of the more in this story, and when David sees her, he’ll want her just like Nabal had done earlier.  Beauty is defined by what’s good.  Abigale was discerning, a huge word that means she had a good heart, a good mind, a good attitude, a good name & a good witness.  She’s able to move mountains because, obviously, people respect and revere her.  Good makes beauty beautiful.  How in the world did she end up with Nabal?  Maybe it’s because good people can see the possibilities and not just the problems.
