WISDOM WEDNESDAY — STAY INTERRUPTIBLE

David had just trusted God in a huge moment.

In 1 Samuel 24, he refused to kill Saul—the king who was literally trying to kill him.

Then in 1 Samuel 25, one foolish man named Nabal insults him, and David straps on his sword and heads out ready to take revenge.

Isn't that something?

David had been obedient in the bigger thing—and nearly stumbled over the smaller thing.

But God put Abigail in his path.

She challenged David to look beyond his anger and consider where this road was taking him. And David listened.

He told her:

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me…” — 1 Samuel 25:32

David recognized something important:

God was in the interruption.

💭 Today's Truth:

Stay interruptible.

Part of abiding in Christ is remaining sensitive to the Holy Spirit when He corrects us. Sometimes that happens through God's Word. Sometimes through conviction. And sometimes God uses someone who loves us enough to say, “Don't go any farther down this road.”

Correction isn't always rejection.

Correction can be one of God's gracious ways of keeping us close.

🙏 Today's Prayer:

Lord, keep my heart humble and teachable. Help me avoid spiritual arrogance. Help me remain sensitive to Your Spirit and willing to receive correction. If I'm headed down a road I shouldn't travel, give me the wisdom to listen and the humility to turn around. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Is there an area of your life where God may be trying to interrupt you?
