"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.
