Abigail failed to lie

From a stringent husband to a household ready to be swept by God can Abigail stop and change its destiny?

Abigail independently perfected a woman's will set by God. As God silently watched her bid her case before God and David, it is all-important to God. Just like many other married women, not without self-incrimination (because she will plead guilty to save her husband in exchange for her life) and fast self-paced decision(as a married woman it is supposed to be immoral to expose yourself to a single powerful man like David), Abigail bypassed many laws about indecent behavior of Jewish married woman yet won many generations to come.

Colorful speculations would say she has fallen in love too at David's first sight to kill her. Say this is true, then this becomes a moral topic to be discussed. How could a married woman want a single man like David? Is there an evidence? A courtroom would further investigate. 

Yes, you could always say that because they claimed Abigail did say in 1 Samuel 25:31 "And when the Lord has prospered my lord, remember your maid.” The emphasis was on these three words focusing on the last word "Remember your MAID". 

Maid in their times refers to a girl or young female; of an unmarried woman or virgin, and of a female servant or handmaid. David knew...at that first meeting Abigail spoke words she wished as a woman she is still a MAID and not a married woman. And they can just be free for whatever outcome this is supposed to end. Is it a happy or happiest ending? 

Do you know why at this point God reads David's heart like HIS OWN HEART? It's because God knew David responded to Abigail's suffering heart. David knew and felt pain on how hard it is to be with a man like Nabal and Abigail still respected him by defending him and denying herself resolved her heart by letting David go even if David already expressed how he wanted her. 

And yet Abigail sort of closed some hopes in her heart... wasn't able to lie that she wants David as a man like her husband she betrayed herself in those words

... remember your maid ... 

Abigail failed to lie. That's the point.💔

And no further words are needed. Cast these stones, go on throw it out.
