Lessons From the Wise Woman of Abel
A wise woman called from the city, “Listen! Listen! Tell Joab to come here so I can speak to him.” He came toward her, and she asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he answered.—2 Samuel 20:16–17 (NIV)
Consider the story of the wise woman of Abel, who, though unnamed, played a pivotal role in her city’s survival. Her wisdom and courage in negotiating with Joab saved her people from destruction. Like the wise woman of Abel, be ready to use your understanding for the good of others.
Heavenly Father, grant me the strength to make choices that are fair, just, and compassionate, and help me to extend kindness and empathy to those around me.
