1 Samuel 25 | The Problem of Presumption

In this study from 1 Samuel 25, we see how David’s presumption and frustrated expectations led to anger and a desire for vengeance. Through Nabal’s insult and Abigail’s wise intervention, the passage shows the danger of pride and wrath, and the mercy of God in keeping His servant from sin. The lesson calls us to lay down presumption, overcome evil with good, and walk in the Spirit rather than in anger.
