Contemplation (verse 24)
​​David’s men got ready to take revenge against Nabal; but Abigail changed that situation by her supplications. From this we realize that we should not only listen to good supplications in the right time, but also to be pleased with them. That is what David did, having been pleased with her, who interceded with him, he also blessed her, because she kept him from avenging himself.
+ St Ambrose

Personal Reflection
Abigail’s humility and wisdom averted a disaster. By humbling herself and supplicating, even though she was not at wrong herself, she saved her people from destruction… do I have the same wisdom to humble myself, even if I am not in the wrong? And would I have the humility of David to change his mind…?
