Look at some scriptures that showed Abigail Faith and humbleness: Samuel 25:24-31, 1 Samuel 25:24-31 (New International Version)"24 She fell at his feet(Davids) and said: "My lord, let the blame be on me alone. Please let your servant speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. 25 May my lord pay no attention to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name--his name is Fool, and folly goes with him. But as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my master sent. 26 "Now since the LORD has kept you, my master, from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands, as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, may your enemies and all who intend to harm my master be like Nabal. 27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my master, be given to the men who follow you. 28 Please forgive your servant's offense, for the LORD will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my master, because he fights the LORD's battles. Let no wrongdoing be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my master will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the LORD your God. But the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. 30 When the LORD has done for my master every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him leader over Israel, 31 my master will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the LORD has brought my master success, remember your servant."
If we remember in proverbs 31 it says that a womans husband and children will praise her and call her blessed just because of who she is and although Abigail was not davids wife YET look at his response to her:"Then David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.
David praise God and was thankful that Abigail talked some sense into him she didnt cover up what her husband did but she let God use her to let David know that he should do the right thing INSPITE OF.
Shorty after this whole ordeal, God killed Napel(Abigails Husband) and David came and asked for Abigails hand in marriage and she accepted.
Ladies AND gentlemen, allow me to address the issue of domestic violence to you. Domestic violence is ANY AND ALL forms of abuse if you are being disrespected, threaten, called out your name, if you are being controlled(told what to do, what to wear, monitored as far as were you can go, what you can do, who you can talk to, etc),If you are being told things such as you will never be anything without them, you need them. you will never amount to anything, you are worthless, ugly, etc. if you are being physically abused you are a victim of domestic violence and we would love to help you in anyway but let me introduce you to GOD if I may. You see what God did for Abigail? God cannot stand a wicked man/or woman especially one that is unwilling to change because there are some that can change. When God says vengeance of Him and not us that is exactly what he means. He loves his children so much but we have to get our faith up. Look at the faith Abigail had it was amazing!!!
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME. GOD MADE NO MISTAKES WHEN HE MADE US IN FACT HE MADE US FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY. HE GAVE US LIFE SO THAT WE MAY HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY AND WE WILL.
