I. CHOOSING THE HIGH ROAD\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The desire to strike back not limited to those who are not Christ-followers.\u00a0 The desire for revenge is often as strong in us as it is in those who have no relationship with Jesus at all.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Engedi means \u201cSpring of the goat\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead of (gloating and glorying<\/span><\/strong>) over what he had done, David was (stricken<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cpersuaded his men\u201d conveys a heated discussion.<\/p>\n

3 main players to this drama:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 David<\/p>\n

2. Nabal- his name means (fool<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0 Fits him well.<\/p>\n

3. Abigail- What a woman!!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What can we learn?<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 \u00a0From David: rash reactions never (pay off<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 \u00a0From Nabal: (arrogance<\/span><\/strong>) never wins and (insensitivity<\/span><\/strong>) loses big time.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 From Abigail: (wisdom<\/span><\/strong>) never loses.<\/p>\n
