But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!

5May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.

When the Lord has done all he promised and has made you leader of Israel, 31don’t let this be a blemish on your record. 

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! Bless you for keeping me from murder and from carrying out vengeance with my own hands.

 “Praise the Lord, who has avenged the insult I received from Nabal and has kept me from doing it myself. Nabal has received the punishment for his sin.”

Lord God my Father,

You are life, evil tries to destroy you but forever fails. Keep me in your favor and protect me from the ways of evil. Help me to trust your plan and timing. Give me patience to allow you to fight the battle in front of me in your timing.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
