When you need to say something difficult, Nancy DeMoss Walgamoos says that you can do it with a helpful attitude.

When you have a heart full of love, you can say a lot and be a lot more effective than if you're just being a contentious, domineering, controlling woman.

You can say hard things to the most difficult men when you say them with a gentle and a gracious spirit and

with genuine concern and compassion.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorn

Thank you. author of Adorned for January 23, 2020.

Confident, yet humble, firm, but self-controlled and gentle, graciously confrontational. Those are rare qualities found only in someone

full of wisdom. So, imagine you're in this situation. Your husband has offended a powerful,

popular military leader. This leader is on his way to your house with 400 soldiers. Your husband is having a party

exactly what Abigail faced. And Nancy will pick up with the biblical story again today in a series

called How to Live with the Fools in Your Life. I don't know about you, but I have really

grown to love this story of Abigail found in 1 Samuel chapter 25. I hope that you've been

following along with us. And I'm just so impressed with this woman and how she handles this incredibly hostile,

difficult, challenging situation that she finds herself in, caught between two angry, foolish men,

one of them, her husband, and one of them, one of the most powerful men in the region,

who's soon to be king, that is David.

I'm so impressed with how Abigail has God's wisdom to know how to deal with this crisis,

with this difficult situation. And as we've been studying all three of these characters,

I hope you're not just thinking of other people in your life who may be the Nabal,

the fool that you have to live with,
