Abigail, Queen of Israel

Her name means “my Father is joy”

And oh how the Father’s heart delighted in His daughter when she treated His servant, David as the King that God destined him.

A woman of great wealth and wisdom.

“she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance” 1 Sam.25:3

She was not given to the fear of man when she was informed how her husband, Nabal responded to David’s warriors. She stood firm listening to God. In the midst of the noise. She stood.

She has eyes to see what the Spirit of the Lord was doing.

Because she knew God.

She walked with Yahweh.

Her husband Nabal, although yoked with her through marriage, had marred vision and spoke amiss when he insulted David as to compare him to a runaway slave.

David was God’s anointed prophet. His chosen. “A man after God’s own heart.”

Abigail spoke words from the throne of heaven when she interceded for her life, her husband & household by releasing a prophetic blessing that came to pass over David & his warriors.

“And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel” 1Sam25:30

In choosing to speak life, she was sowing into her future.

She humbled herself without hesitation and fell face down before the mighty warrior who slew Goliath.

And God elevated her in due time when He crowned her Queen of Israel 🇮🇱

For promotion in the kingdom of God does not come not from man but from Yahweh.

“He removeth kings, and setteth up kings” Daniel 2:21

Loyalty. She stood by her man. As his rib. She took care of him when he could not take care of himself. She didn’t expose him. She covered him.

David recognized this proverbs 31 Warrior & in Gods timing. He received her hand in marriage and she partook in a lasting dynasty.

A woman of wisdom, discernment, beauty and intelligence.

“Your discernment is blessed.” 1 Samuel 25:33 (King David to Abigail)

Godly discernment comes from the Holy Spirit.

I treasure how she left her comfort for her calling.

She was very wealthy but left it all to go to wilderness with David during a season where he was being hunted by King Saul.

And if she had tarried she would have missed it.

34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 1Sam25. (David to Abigail)

Arise like Esther & walk like Abigail.

Abigail hasted off her ass to her King.

Just like King David hasted to kill Goliath. He ran to his destiny. No room for fear. No room for doubt. And in Christ he was VICTORIOUS! The giant hit the ground!

Like the prophet Daniel, Abigail had set in her heart what she wanted.

She was prepared.

So when God came knocking, she didn’t slap His hand away. She received what Abba had for her.

She was a queen in character before she was crowned by the Lord.

Woman of God, Arise like Esther & walk like Abigail.

This look is inspired by Holy Spirit & called Abigail, Queen of Israel.
