Practicing Discernment
Corrie
ten Boom once said, “Discernment is God’s call to intercession, never to
faultfinding.” A discerning person intercedes through prayer or action rather
than laying blame.
Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the
name of his wife Abigail. The woman was discerning and beautiful, but the man
was harsh and badly behaved.
1 Samuel 25:3
|
A
perfect example is Abigail. Abigail was a wise woman married to a foolish man.
In the scriptures surrounding today’s verse, David was running from Saul. In
need of supplies, he sent men to Nabal asking for provisions. Nabal rudely
dismissed David’s request and insulted him as well. David responded by sending
his army to wipe out Nabal’s household. Then Abigail entered the story.
Learning what happened, she interceded for her husband and her household.
Gathering food and gifts, she set out to meet David. Finding him, she bowed to
the ground, asked for forgiveness, took the blame for the situation, and
praised David’s character while reminding him of God’s promises. This act
diffused the situation and saved Nabal’s household.
When other’s make poor decisions, do you find fault or fall to your knees in prayer on their behalf? Start showing discernment today by interceding for the nation’s leaders as they make decisions that affect the country.
