Dad's Ramblings -- A Dead Heart

"So it was in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.  Then it happened, after about ten days, that the LORD struck Nabal, and he died."
 
                                                                                          I Samuel 25:37-38
 
When Nabal heard what Abigain had done, something snapped inside.  Perhaps he became became so angry at Abigail that he blew a gasket.  He probably had a stroke or a heart attack  and became paralyzed -- unresponsive like a rock.  What I do know is that Nabal never had a chance to repent or ask forgiveness.  Sometimes life -- and death -- comes at you fast.  It pays to keep the heart right with God.
 
Today's Thought:  It is imperative that we live ready to die.
 
Have a lively day.  Love you.
