BLEMISHES
Today's reading: 1 Samuel 21-25

"When the Lord has done all he has promised and has made you leader of Israel, don't let this be a blemish on your record..." 1 Samuel 25:30 NLT

Abigail was bowed low before David trying to undo what her less than wise husband Nabal had done.

She took the blame upon herself, although she was entirely pure in the matter.

She made an effort to keep the peace.

She begged David not to allow his emotions, his hurt pride or his wounded ego to master his actions.

It was a wise move on her part. It's wise advice for us, too.

What you will be faced with today, everything you will be faced with today has eternal consequences. How you react. How you choose to respond. What words you speak. Promises or threats you might make.

Let's all do our very best to insure today will not be a blemish on our records as we stand before God!
