IF NOT FOR GOD 1 Samuel 24 & 25... We don’t wonder why David was ready to fight, because Nabal had provoked him so greatly. He isn’t responding the way the LORD would have him respond to an insult, or even to an attack. As well, we see that David doesn’t show Nabal the same kindness and longsuffering that he showed to Saul. In just the previous chapter (1 Samuel 24), we saw how David spared Saul’s life, when Saul not only insulted David but actually attacked him and tried to kill him. David was able to be kind and longsuffering to Saul, but it seems to have been harder for him to do it towards someone he perceived as his equal, or lower than himself. Often, this is true measure of our character - not how we treat our superiors, but how we treat our equals or those “beneath” us in some way or another. May God help us all in Jesus name.
