In 1 Samuel 25:30-31 we read, “When the LORD has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler over Israel, my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself.” Another way Abigail could have said this is, “When you look back at this moment, and it is a part of your life story, you won’t have regret.”  When you look back at your life what is the story you are able to tell?
