Concept of Abigail’s Heart
A virtuous woman looks well to the ways of her household. Abigail’s heart for God and her character far exceeded her natural beauty. When faced with a threat from David (because of her husband’s actions) she responded quietly. Wisdom, integrity, respect, and a soft answer were her weapons. It was her wisdom that what she did, she did herself. Abigail knew how to manage her husband’s situation more than any servant she had. She humbled herself, didn’t take offense to David’s threat. She didn’t wallow or take the time to get angry. She immediately prepared herself to atone her husband’s faults. She took the best she had and sent it ahead (Proverbs, 21:14, a gift pacifies anger.) She never operated from any other place than her heart. She possessed a heart for God to keep peace, a heart for her family, to save them from death. In saving her family she ministered to David as well. It was her character and integrity that caused David to marry her after her husband died. Abigail’s heart was her blessing. Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.
