Money Lovers Dilemma
Boothy uttered to the man, "Yeah, I guess I can let a cocksucker like you buy me a drink." Boothy rocked back on his heals then his toes. Hie hands set in his pockets. His burning steal gaze, with steel blue eyes, gleamed demanding My undivided attention. He had it. Without a word, while raising his brow, he said, "Did you see what I just did? I called that fucker a cocksucker, and he is still buying me a drink."
Only Boothy could pull off listening to some oily ne'er-do-well for five minutes greasing him about how they were such good friends and how he wanted to catch up on ol' times. What Boothy knew was this guy was just looking to create some atmosphere of favouritism. Ne'er-due-well friends are money lovers that are looking to extort a blind eye to grand larceny in exchange for trinkets.
When Boothy was at the bar with is buddies no one knew who was buying the drinks. They were all in a hurry to buy for one another. Bartenders loved him. We all loved Boothy unless we wanted to own him. What Boothy taught a young professional in that moment was that there will always be someone looking for you to owe them. They will look to you to give your life to them for some measly favour. They are never satisfied that they are repaid, have given an honest loan, and always want ownership of you in some way. Give up your power and they win. (God asks, "That is how you fuckers defrauded Heaven. And you knew it was wrong for people to treat you that way.")
Loving money blinds a person to, Love. In short entering God's Kingdom is a challenge for those that love money. These are people that very often do suffer at the hands of others, especially when a woman has this sickness. Her mind may give her some sound council, but her heart will always chase the dollar or the man who she perceives has the dollar. She isn't even capable of seeing her own value.
Regardless, people being lovers of money look to build alliances of, "You owe me" on blank checks with the lives of others. Nabal was a worthless man who found himself the good fortune of being married to Abigail. She, a shrewd woman who found favour with the true God and David, realized the value of opening hospitality to David and his men and feeding them. Nabal, a money lover, hated her generosity and treated David and his men as if they owed him just for being on his family lands. David and his men had been protecting Nabal's sheep when they strayed far from Nabal's pastures.
Abigail saved the entire household from David's wrath over Nabal's ingratitude. After Nabal was drunk with wine and satiated with an auspicious feast for himself, Abigail gave him the news of the blessing she secured from David. In his rage he became catatonic, perhaps from stroke, in an instant. Ten days later the true God struck Nabal dead. Abigail and her chattels went to David in marriage. Nabal thought he was going to leverage the true God's future king. It does not work that way.
