Week 88, Day 4: Valley of water
Today’s Reading: 2 Kings 3:1-27
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
I have always liked this chapter. We see another time where Jehoshaphat has pledged himself to be one with the king of Israel in battle. They go to fight against Moah by journeying through the wilderness seven days. Can you imagine what kind of supplies you would have to take along to try to sustain an army of men for 7 days? When they run out of water the king of Judah wants to inquire of God. God tells them that were it not for the king of Judah He would not listen to the king of Israel. God does not listen to the prayers of wicked men. Also, the deliverance that God would send would come even though they didn’t see any indications of it beforehand. They would not see any wind or rain, and yet the water would come. This makes me think about how when we call out to God to help us, we do not always see or know how God is working to help us but we can have confidence that God hears the prayers of those who are righteous and will aid them.
Question: Why did God have great wrath against Israel because the king of Moab sacrficied his son?
