A consecrated Christian life is ever shedding light and comfort and peace. It is characterized by purity, tact, simplicity, and usefulness. It is controlled by that unselfish love that sanctifies the influence. It is full of Christ, and leaves a track of light wherever its possessor may go. Abigail was a wise reprover and counselor. David's passion died away under the power of her influence and reasoning. He was convinced that he had taken an unwise course and had lost control of his own spirit.

En oprigtig kristens liv bringer altid lys, trøst og fred med sig. Det kendetegnes af renhed, takt, beskedenhed og dygtighed. Det kontrolleres af en uselvisk, helliggørende kærlighed. Det er besjælet af Kristus og efterlader en lysstribe overalt på sin vej. Davids heftige vrede lagde sig, takket være denne kvindes kloge ord og den indflydelse, hun øvede. Han var klar over, at han havde båret sig uklogt ad og mistet fatningen.
