Meet the original Beauty and the Beast: Abigail and Nabal! By striking contrast, the Scripture measures these two polar-opposites and offers them to us for our instruction. By their example we are urged to make appropriate life-course corrections–that we may then be measured with God’s approval rather than His disapproval.
About this series: Measured Lives
We’ll be exploring the lives of some of the people written about in 1st and 2nd Samuel. By their lives these men and women offer us rich wisdom and guidance. Our time and place are different, but we share with them the same temptations and hardships, as well as the same Source for victory and joy. For this reason, the Bible tells us, “everything written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope” (Romans 15:4).
