Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the transgressor is hard [like the barren, dry soil or the impassable swamp]. Proverbs 13:15 (AMPC).
When life freely opens up and yields to us; that’s favor. One way this happens is when we have and operate with good understanding or an understanding of what’s good. Abigail was a woman of good understanding. Her husband a harsh and evil man in his doings made a foolish blunder that nearly got all the male members in their home killed, but Abigail acting in good understanding averted a bloody massacre. She found favor before David and when her husband died David married her – 1Samuel 25:2-42. Focus on understanding and acting on what’s pleasing to the Lord then favor shall manifest in your life and all that you engage in.
