There are people we meet for a reason and there are also those we meet for a season. It will take someone with the spirit of discernment to see beyond the words and smile. It will ONLY take maturity and wisdom to defeat and encode the crafty of the wolves in a ship skin. Lastly, it will take a skill to understand and deal with Nabal! 😊
“4 When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep, 5 David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. 6 And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: ‘Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have! 7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel. 8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore, let my young men find favour in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’ ”
9 So when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David and waited. 10 Then Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master. 11 Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?”
12 So David’s young men turned on their heels and went back; and they came and told him all these words. 13 Then David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies.” 1 Samuel 25:4-13 NKJV
Not everyone is coming to you with malicious intentions, some people are really coming from a complete peace and desire to share the peace of God with you. Therefore, be open to receive, embrace, and pray for healing where peace is broken!
#Peace starts from within!
#You cannot give what you do not have!
#Long life and shalom to you, shalom to your household, and shalom to everything that is yours! 1 Samuel 25:6 CJB
Wisdom is a gift from God!
When a woman of good understanding meets a harsh man!
