Tact

1 Samuel 25

1 Samuel 25 describes the story of Nabal, who was "mean and surly in his dealings." Nadal was unnecessarily rude to David's men, and David prepares to attack him. In that culture, David's request for help wasn't an unusual request, particularly given the fact that David's men had protected Nabal's sheep. Only the quick thinking tact and grace of his wife Abigail saved Nabal. In workplaces, tact goes a long way. I think as the pace of work speeds up, it gets harder and harder to treat people with tact and grace. But that only makes those who use tact stand apart even more. Treat people well. Things didn't go well for Nabal in the story, but Abigail became a queen.
