“Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come” (Proverbs 31:25).
Abigail was married to a very wealthy man. Her closet was probably filled with beautiful gowns of great price. I don’t think material possessions was a big issue with her. I think being clothed in “strength and honor” meant more to her. Her first husband didn’t give her much to rejoice about. She had to stay strong to be able to keep going even on a daily basis.
After Nabal died, Abigail realized the last part of today’s verse, “….and she shall rejoice in time to come.” Her story had a happy ending.
