Dad's Ramblings -- The Servant-Bride

"So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, 'Blessed be the LORD...' And he sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife....Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, 'Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.' So Abigail arose in haste ... and became his wife."
 
                                                                            I Samuel 25:39, 41-42
 
What a picture! Abigail was delivered from the clutches of tyrant. No longer was she under Nabal's dominion. When she heard the invitation to become the bride of her savior, she rose in haste – no dilly-dallying – to go to him. I love her spirit. She saw herself as a servant to the other servants. This is a wonderful analogy to becoming a servant-bride to our Savior.
 
Today's Thought: We are freed from the tyranny of Satan to become a servant-bride to the Savior. Hallelujah!
 
Have a rejoicing day. Love you.
