And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: And BLESSED BE THY ADVICE, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 1 Samuel 25:32, 33
When David was upset at Nabal's rude answer to his request for help and he overreacted in going to take revenge on Nabal, his wife heard of the issue and went to meet David and placate him. David listened to her godly advice and calmed down. For she warned him that his overreaction would cause him to sow evil seed that he would live to regret later in life when God brings him into the greatness he had promised him.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the WISE, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Wisdom shows up in the list of determinants as the winner of bread - that is, unless time and chance change the circumstances. Wisdom is the level of skill and judgment in applying the knowledge you have. You can't hide it - when it is lacking, it shows, when it is present it shows in your life!
- wisdom determines your position and rank in your nation
-
wisdom determines your ability to stay in an elevated position
-
wisdom determines your place in ministry
-
wisdom determines your ability to work in important places
-
wisdom determines the mighty works that you can accomplish

And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that DAVID TOOK AN HARP, AND PLAYED WITH HIS HAND: SO SAUL WAS REFRESHED, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Samuel 16:23

Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the STRONG, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
From Ecclesisates 9:11 we gather that the best outcomes are not always realized through speed, strength, wisdom, understanding and skill, but time and chance produces surprising outcomes. This is actually saying that barring the intervention of time and chance, the usual determinants are speed, strength, wisdom, understanding and skill - factors that we can influence.
In this episode, we look at some examples of strong men in the Bible we can learn to follow, and how to improve your strength.
- Make God your strength - trust in His mercy.
- Receive counsel from God
- Strengthen yourself by returning and resting in God

And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his ARMOURBEARER. 1 Samuel 16:21
There are so many Christians who want to start out on top! But the only job that begins at the top is grave digging! If you study the background of many great people, you will discover that they once served at the lowest level in their profession.
The best leader is someone who has been a follower for many years. Because you have done menial jobs, you are more reasonable with your subordinates. You understand what they are going through and do not give impossible commands.

Do not be afraid of small beginnings; God will lift you up. You will benefit from all the experiences you have had in your small beginnings.
It was when David was looking after the few sheep that he had a fight with a bear and a lion. It is because he was used to fighting impossible situations that he was able to take on Goliath.
