14 Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, HE DEVISES WAYS SO THAT A BANISHED PERSON DOES NOT REMAIN ESTRANGED FROM HIM. 2 Samuel 14
These words were spoken by an unnamed, wise woman from Tekoa, secretly engaged by Joab, the commander of King David’s army, to bring about reconciliation. Joab saw that David was missing his son Absalom, 2 Samuel 13:39 and even though he was a tough fighting man, he devised a scheme to reunite father and son. The woman eventually admitted under questioning that Joab had told her everything she was to say to the King. She also spoke this tremendous truth about God, that He doesn’t want people to die outside of Him and so He devises ways for people to come back to Him. We should never be in doubt about turning back to God, that’s His heart for everyone. Repent, receive forgiveness in Jesus and be accepted as His child.
May God bless and keep you today.
