Here we have in the bible a real beauty. Though it was mentioned that Abigail was beautiful, what was really highlighted here was her strong character. She was complemented by David to be a women of good judgment; not only able to preserve Nabal's family line from being wiped out by David and his men, but also prevented David from unnecessary bloodshed. Boy...she's a women who truly stands out! And God turned Nabal's insult to David to be a blessing. Nabal consequently died out of heart attack and Abigail became the wife to David.
True beauty exceeds the outlook of a person. What is more important is not looking beautiful from the outside, but it's from the inside (you may not want to believe it but it's true!). While much emphasis is given to improve appearances...what about character? Do we spend time and effort to work on them? Real beauty is not from our looks but who we are within. Care to be an Abigail?
