Today's Passage: 1 Samuel 25
If ever there was a William Wallace moment in Scripture, 1 Samuel is definitely the place. In just one chapter a huge story unfolds that could easily be turned in to a ninety minute featured film. We see love, betrayal, corrupt people, and marriage in this brief passage. Like most movies, the bad guy is defeated and the good guy gets the girl. However, that is not the greatest part to this entertaining story.
God certainly is in control this entire story. God punishes the crooked and blesses the ones following Him. Most movies may have the same ending, but the difference here is who is controlling and causing the ending. Because of Abigail's actions many innocent people were spared. The actions of Nabal had huge consequences resulting in his death. This is simply a stunning story that deserves a thorough reading. I reminded how much fun the Old Testament is to read by this chapter of Scripture. God is truly in control in the Old Testament, New Testament, and in 2009. That is so reassuring for me!
