Abigail’s Inner Counsel

1 Samuel 25:14-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 25 in context

Scripture Focus

14But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
15But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
16They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
1 Samuel 25:14-17

Biblical Context

A young servant warns Abigail that David’s men were kind and that danger looms if Abigail does not act; Abigail is urged to decide wisely to avert disaster for Nabal’s household.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner-felt reading, David’s messengers are the waking impulse of courage moving through your wilderness of thought. Nabal’s “son of Belial” represents a fixed ego-state resistant to wisdom, while Abigail embodies the conscious, discerning mind ready to act when inner warning bells ring. The statement that evil is determined signals a rising misalignment in your psyche that must be redirected before it bears fruit. The messengers as a wall suggest a protective field created by right perception, a shield formed by listening to inner guidance. Abigail’s act of preparing and presenting counsel is your choice to revise the scene—and to allow providence to move through awareness rather than through fear. This is not about changing others; it is about aligning your relationship to the situation inside and inviting a wiser response to govern outward events with serenity and clarity.

Practice This Now

Assume the scene is already resolved by Abigail’s wise action; feel the calm certainty that inner guidance is present.
