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 banished from him.
- 2 Samuel 14:14 (TNIV)
A wise woman said this to King David, in trying to convince him to reconcile with his son, Absolom.
What hope is in this verse! What good news!
Praise God for the eternal truth in this verse. We, through our sin, are forever banished from God, but He has made a way of reconciliation - through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It's all His doing. Without Christ, we have no hope.
Praise God that He has devised the perfect way - we can be 'unbanished'.
