Courage and Wisdom in the Moment
There are days when we feel misunderstood, hurt, or ready to react. In those moments, I am reminded of Abigail and David.
Abigail faced crisis with courage and wisdom. She didn’t ignore the problem, and she didn’t respond in fear. She stepped in calmly, trusted God, and spoke life into a heated situation.
David, though angry, had the humility to listen. He trusted that God could correct him through someone else.
How often do we need that?
In our marriages.
With our children.
In ministry.
In moments when emotions rise quickly.
Trusting God means we pause before reacting. It means we ask for wisdom instead of proving a point. It means we allow Him to defend us instead of fighting in the flesh.
Today, may we have Abigail’s courage to step forward wisely — and David’s humility to listen when God speaks.
Sometimes the greatest victory is the battle we choose not to fight.
