What Does 1 Samuel 25:32 Mean?

David's first response is not to Abigail but to God: blessed be the Lord, who sent her to meet him this day. He recognizes at once that her arrival was no accident but the Lord's own intervention in his path.

A heart that is truly wise can hear correction and praise God for it. David sees the hand of heaven in the woman before him and thanks God before thanking her. To welcome a timely word that turns us from sin, and to see it as a gift from above, is the mark of humility that keeps a great soul from a great fall.
