The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 131
And Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters. 11 Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”
1 Samuel 25:10-11
When you’ve been on a long journey, it’s easy to be distracted by the little things. David had come all this way, faced all those issues, and waited patiently for God to meet all his needs. All those things develop character in the man or woman of God. But it’s hard to overlook outright disrespect. Nabal is just being Nabal; no one expected anything but his nasty response. David’s about to let a nobody take down a somebody in the will of God for His people. Don’t just let anybody decide what kind of somebody God wants you to be. Don’t let the words of the ignorant make you arrogant.
