There is an amazing story in the third chapter of 2 Kings - a miracle of a story in fact. Three kings were at their wit's end. They had been traveling together for days on their way to fight the king of Moab. They ran out of water for themselves and their horses.

They inquired of the Lord through the prophet Elisha as to what to do. The Lord responded by telling them to make a valley full of ditches, that He would fill with water so that they and their horses could drink. God also promised that He would also hand over the Moabite army to them. God did exactly as He promised.

II Ki 3:18
This is an easy thing in the eyes of the LORD; he will also hand Moab over to you.

What a great verse for us to ponder. If only we could see through the eyes of the Lord!

Again in today's reading we are shown the character of King Jehoram and also the character of God.  Jehoram built high places (altars of pagan worship) and caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and led the people astray.  But our ever faithful God was not willing to destroy the house of David because He promised to maintain a lamp for him and his descendants forever. Are we always faithful in our promises to God?



What's up with this mysterious letter from Elijah???
