What does the Bible say about God's intervention in our lives?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible illustrates God's intervention through stories, such as when Abigail prevented David from avenging himself.
God's intervention is a profound theme throughout the Scripture, demonstrating His sovereignty and grace. In the story of David and Abigail, found in 1 Samuel 25, we see David, a man after God's own heart, ready to avenge himself against Nabal, who had insulted him. Yet, God intervened through Abigail, a wise and humble woman. David recognized this divine intervention, declaring, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me' (1 Samuel 25:32). This story teaches us that God often uses humble and unexpected means to steer us away from sinful paths, showing His providence and care in our lives.
