Nabal was in the wrong in insulting David but David’s reaction in seeking vengeance is not right. We need to have a right view of ourselves so our pride is not wounded like David’s. David was fresh from victory over the temptation to kill Saul but victory over one temptation does not mean we will be victorious in the next. We must look to the Lord. Temptations in the Christian life do not go away. We must not forget we are in a fight; we need grace every day.
