Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands

Human beings long for justice, but tainted by sin, that longing often becomes hate-fueled vengeance. David experienced this dynamic when he was insulted by a man named Nabal, and almost did something he would regret. But God sent Abigail to stop him and remind him of God's promises to him. In 1 Samuel 25, we are reminded that David was not a perfect King – but that we need a better King who can perfectly enact both justice and mercy, and who overcomes evil with good.
