The One Year Bible - Day 154

2 Samuel 20 tells us about a woman of peace who Joab meets at the town of Abel. She does not represent either an enemy or a friend but represents a third-party who is neutral and also who is wise. People who have worked abroad in non-Christian areas are familiar with these people who are often the first people who we bring into our teams and even if they are not believers, they understand the wisdom of the Kingdom and are prepared to help even if not out of genuine motivations. Interestingly, God still uses these people to help us and we must not belittle or devalue their contribution to the Kingdom of God despite the fact they are not "Christians".
