Please turn in your Bibles to 1Samuel 25 (NIV)

1Samuel 25:13

V 3: Abigail: intelligent and beautiful

Nabal: extremely wealthy, but self-absorbed and mean

V 25: Nabal = fool: “There is no God.” Psalm 14:1, 53:1

When Anger Shows its Ugly Head

“Beloved, never avenge yourselves (taking matters into your

own hands), but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written,

‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’”

Romans 12:19 (NKJV)
