Wisdom from the wife, none from the husband

One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings, but he hurled insults at them. Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing. Night and day they were a wall around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them. Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him.” Abigail acted quickly. She took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys. Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there were David and his men descending toward her, and she met them. David had just said, “It’s been useless—all my watching over this fellow’s property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good. May God deal with David, be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!” (1 Samuel 25:14-22 NIV

Do what is righteous because it is right, because God says it is right. David took the liberty to protect this guy's property and in the end, when David needed help from him, he turned away. The guy was named Nabal. He was wealthy and the Lord had blessed him with much. But he had turned David away because he thought that David was unworthy of his good treatment. He had not recognized that whatever that belongs to him belongs to The Lord and he does not have that heart of Christ, to share. But his wife was amazing, his wife just responed when she heard about this. She just went forth and gave to David, without much thought or reason, even she knew she may experience her husband's wrath. When God calls us to give, would we just give? Or would we be like Nabal, held back and was caught up with the creation than e creator?
