Title Don't Guess Anything
Contents
Words: 1 Samuel 25:14-22; 32 to 35
There are so many things in life that people have to control.
Diabetics? You have to control your food. You may need to control your weight.
When preparing food, you need to control the quantity.
There are so many other things in life that you have to control, right?
There is one important thing to control, and that is emotion regulation.
What if I can't control my emotions? A number of wrong things appear as a result of the hiatus.
Who is Nabal? I couldn't control my "gratefulness" in controlling my emotions.
** It is clear that he was helped through David as a Carmelite.
When a person receives help in life, there should be a grace of gratitude.
ex) Look around you!
Naturally, there are many people who are unable to express their gratitude despite having many things to be grateful for.
It's not that we want to be grateful, we need to have a grateful heart.
ex) Have you ever seen a dog say thank you?
Nabal is a man of ignorance.
David is angry about this. - Of course you should be angry.
But what's the problem? It is the control of anger.
He is an ordinary person. Being a king is not special, and being a man after God's heart, it is not that he is not without anger.
but! it is control
In that respect, Abigail is a woman with excellent control skills.
Because she is a woman, it is not that she has excellent control skills, but that she is quick in judging situations.
people like this?
You shouldn't make assumptions about anything.
I can't guarantee that I'm smart, I can't guarantee that I'm a good person, I can't guarantee that I'm a good person.
Do not promise anything, but tell it to God!
Today we discover another part of David's life.
In the image of David going against Nabal with 400 men?
It is difficult to find a trustworthy attitude as a sincere man of God.
Even right now, if someone argues, a big fight ensues right away.
How did Abigail appear before David?
Is it true that Abigail herself escaped the situation of being exterminated by meeting David as a good and personal woman?
What is positive?
It is said that it was used as a tool to restore David beautifully to the image of David.
What if there are people who are instrumental in restoring people?
Some people make even good people angry.
You must be a person of reconciliation.
don't guess Don't shout too loud. Just be a person of reconciliation!
In a chaotic world, a noisy world, and a world where there is discord, be like a refreshing agent to God and people.
First, don't bet on anger being excluded.
1) What is life in the wilderness? It is not only a place where you can keep your life and have fellowship with God, but it is also a place where you can recover with people.
We know that there was a crowd following David.
They are all wounded - The wilderness allows the wounded to feel a sense of identity while being alone with God.
This is different from a human gathering.
Although we met through a relationship with the flow of human affection, God is in them.
2) What is the Davidic community that cares for and covers the pain?
Things in the wilderness that happen unexpectedly
For example, the appearance of robbers? He protected the people around him from unexpected attacks by beasts.
David? Helping a man named Nabal came from pure motives.
It can also be seen in the confessions of the shepherds of Nabal.
1 Samuel 25:16
“As long as we were with them, they took care of us day and night as well as a wall, while we were tending the sheep.”
3) David did not expect any reward for this activity.
Running away from Saul, David could not fully assume the task.
However, he knew that it was God's will to help them and live by meeting people along the way.
What is life in the wilderness? It is a place where grace arises to understand and help people.
David's request from Nabal was not at all questionable from the circumstances.
However, Nabal went beyond the line of refusal to respond to David's request.
That is, they included them in the same category as other robbers.
4) In life, unintentionally, there are many situations in which you will not be treated like a human being like David.
I don't even understand personally, why the hell is this so twisted up? It is true that there are times when it becomes too complicated to do.
[David's reaction]
In David's face, we now find the face of anger.
Nabal's words caused anger to appear in the man of faith who had been approved by God.
anger? make provocative decisions.
What do we see now in the image of David recognized as a man of God?
That's right, anger.
What are the consequences of anger? Ultimately, it leads to the death of Nabal.
How to express it easily?
David lost his temper.
They lost their identity as God's anointed ones.
In the meantime, they lost the beautiful holiness they had built up by toiling and toiling in the wilderness.
Last time we had an eye to see the temple of the Holy Spirit dwelling in the maddening King Saul from the image of David, but now we cannot find it in David's view of Nabal.
In the end, David had to know that he was ascending to Saul's place.
What not to say when looking at David?
Do not think that you are excluded from anger, but pray that you will be governed by the Spirit of God.
Second, don't deny the fact that the inside controls the person.
1) Nabal's servant immediately runs to Abigail.
To allay David's wrath, he quickly got ready and ran to David.
What is the point of Abigail telling David?
“What you are doing now is not what you should do as the king of Israel, the anointed of God.”
By the way! verbal expression is good.
"Oh! You can't do that? Should the king be like that?"
this is not a statement
"You are a person approved by God. Do not forget that God has led you up to this point, and have pity on us. You are a person who has to fight for God rather than for people."
2) What makes Abigail wise?
It is not that he was trying to solve the problem itself in his relationship with David, but he knew that God worked through David and was talking about it.
It is not that David himself is exalted, but that God who has acted in David is exalted.
What is Abigail's inner side? The focus is on everything God does.
Isn't that great?
Not only did he see David, but Abigail had eyes to see God who worked in David.
3) Nabal is stupid, but aren't you different from Nabal's?
A fool should not live like that.
You are David, a man of God.
Abigail? He is a beautiful person both in heart and in appearance.
What is your lovely look? It comes from inner beauty.
The inner beauty that Abigail had in the end saved David from ugliness and made David see and hear God again.

How about on the inside? As much as in the inner person?
Don't say you're better than others.
Look at Abigail!
David believed that he was superior to others on the inside.
But it was worse than Abigail.
Third, don't promise I'm perfect.
1) Through meeting with Abigail, David arranges his relationship with Nabal.
What were the consequences of Nabal's actions?
It resulted in anger and impulsiveness, and eventually gave David a new perspective on who he was.
David? In the accusation of Psalm 14, Nabal is referred to as a 'foolish man'.
2) Fighting against Nabal?
result of stupid actions.
Why is it the result of stupid actions?
Because Nabal is a fool. Mix talk with stupid people.
My words are buried in stupid words.
We try to change people's minds with our words.
But what about the human heart? You will be transformed by the wisdom, understanding, and fullness of the Holy Spirit that God gives you.
3) When we look at David's life, we should not interpret it only as events that happen moment by moment.
The man of God, the God who made him the king of Israel, wanted David to be a man who could be seen holistically in every way.
So even if you use a woman named Abigail?
He made David a perfect man.
You have to be like a giant.
David can be said in a way that Nabal is 'foolish and ungrateful'.
But what if you think about yourself when you stand before King Saul?
He could have made himself a fool and an ungrateful person.

Don't think that I'm perfect now!
Don't even guess!
There are many things that need to be trained.
It is not that our personality and life are drastically changed by a few decades of religious life.
Until we enter the kingdom of God, we need continuous training.
Sometimes we are faced with situations in which we can lose our identity as children of God by meeting someone like Nabal.
It manifests itself in anger, or in our state of being sensitive to it.
Just like Abigail made sure to keep the position of the premiere, the position of the original mind in any situation!
I must not forget the existence of God who lives and is with me throughout my life.
