A gentle response can deter so much wrath. David appears to be willing to take Nabal's insult, to the extreme of killing all the males that belong to him. Abagail brings a soft word in a time of great turmoil.
Think back of times when you found yourself in your most fierce of fights. Would a softer response have made the conflict more manageable? Did a shove back make matters worse? The thing about fighting with someone that is unwilling to throw a punch back is, eventually the one throwing the punches realizes that nothing is being accomplished.
There is a way to have constructive conflict and not kill a relationship. We should always strive for that first.
"Father, help me have conflict with others in a way that glorifies You."
Heart and Soul,
BAG
