Everyone has a breaking point. Frustration can lead us to making rash decisions. In this story of David (Part 9), we learn about David and Abigail. Abigail's quick thinking prevented David from committing a horrible crime.

When David was given an opportunity to rid himself of King Saul, he chose rather to save his life. David was patient. He didn't want to take personal vengeance. Instead, he wanted the LORD to take up his cause. Christians today should avoid allowing frustration with corrupt governments to tempt them into rebellion. God will take care of such things in His timing.

Paul tells us the right kind of spiritual clothing to wear. These are not physical clothes. Instead, we should put on the right actions and behavior.

David was anointed by Samuel to be king. However, Saul held on to the throne of Israel. Furthermore, Saul pursued David as if he was an outlaw.

Sadness, worry, and defeat haunt many people. In Psalm 64, we read how the LORD wants us to be joyful, faithful, and victorious. Make this a theme for the new year.

By obeying Him, we shall be added to the extended Christmas Story written in Heaven.
