Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my master will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling.

—1 Sam 25:29

• Wise and beautiful Abigail, future wife of King David, declares to David that even though Saul pursues him, God will keep him safe because God has promised to do so (v. 30) using a wonderful image of being tied up securely in a bundle with all other living people.

• Praise God, who has a purpose and a plan for each life. He binds us snugly in the bundle of the living so we can fulfill our calling and complete our assigned work on earth. Then he will remove us from the bundle of the living and take us to heaven.

• Praise God that our lives are secure in Christ.
