560: No One Has it All Together: Avoiding the Comparison Trap: Abigail: Women of the Old Testament Bible Study
Abigail's story teaches us that no one has it all together, despite appearances. We should not compare ourselves to others or make assumptions about their lives. Instead, we should be kind and compassionate, as we never know what someone may be going through. Abigail's husband, Nabal, was harsh and mean, and she had to intervene to prevent David from attacking him. Abigail showed wisdom and mercy, and David was moved by her words.
