Read this first: 1 Samuel 25:9-11
David gave Nabal honour as a father (v8). But Nabal rudely dismisses David's contact as that of an unimportant slave running from his master, adding that he has no intention of stealing food from his men to feed this rebel band! Rudeness can spring easily to our lips when we're tired, irritated, distracted or proud. But we, in love, should resist the tendency (1Co 13:4-5).
Based on the sermon “Failed expectations”
