David had just been saying, “A lot of good it did to help this fellow. We protected his flocks in the wilderness, and nothing he owned was lost or stolen. But he has repaid me evil for good. 22May God strike me and kill me25:22 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads May God strike and kill the enemies of David. if even one man of his household is still alive tomorrow morning!”

“Even when you are chased by those who seek to kill you, your life is safe in the care of the Lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch! But the lives of your enemies will disappear like stones shot from a sling!

David replied to Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me today! 33Thank God for your good sense! 

he Lord forbid that I should kill the one he has anointed! But take his spear and that jug of water beside his head, and then let’s get out of here!”

Now may the Lord value my life, even as I have valued yours today. May he rescue me from all my troubles.”

Lord God my Father,

Be with me and help me to keep my emotions in check so your will can have its way. Protect me from sin and plan my path so I may find you. Allow me to see your wisdom in others and keep me in check. Allow your plan to rest on me with your Truth as my discernment.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
