2 Kings 3:1-27
A punitive expedition against Moab by the allied forces of Israel, Judah and Edom, is made hazardous by drought.
Joram did evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father and mother had done.
Joram thought "Has the Lord called us three kings together only to hand us over to Moab?" Jehoshaphat asked to inquire of the the Lord through prophet of the Lord.
Elisha said to three kings, "if I did no have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or even notice you."
The Lord helped allied forces as Elisha had told them, "The Lord says:' You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink. This is an easy thing in the eyes of the Lord.'"
Wen the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took his firstborn son, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall. The fury against Israel was great; they withdrew and returned to their own land.
Why?
In early times through the priests and now through prophets.
The sacrifices of the king's son so heartened the Moabites, or so appalled the Israelites, that the advance was halted.
There was not priest in Israel so the Lord sent prophets spoke in this land.
The Lord won't give any word to the evil man, for they won't listen or believe what the Lord says.
The work of the Lord done many thing are difficult to human beings, but it is easy to the Lord.
Only one third of the population, the Lord like to speak to them, hope them will know that He is the Lord.
How?
This is easy things in the eyes of the Lord when He will, for he is the sovereign Lord in all of the world and heaven. What I need is have confidence in God.
The Lord is speaking to us now when we seek for Him.
