A SIMPLE THING!

2 Kings 3:17-18 You will see neither wind nor rain, says the Lord but this valley will be filled with water. You will have plenty for yourselves and your cattle and other animals. But this is only a simple thing for the Lord, for he will make you victorious .…”

Have you ever thought life is complicated? We have huge Why’s? How’s? And When’s? But for God it’s not complicated, it’s simple! He shows us in this story…

The Kings of Israel, Judah and Edom went out to attack the King of Moab but the route they took led them through a wilderness for seven days and there was no water for their huge armies of men and animals. King Jehoshaphat of Judah was wise enough to first ask Elisha to inquire of the Lord what to do as they were in an impossible situation. The verse above gave them the amazing answer! God would supernaturally provide and it would be simple for Him! He must have been so glad he asked God first!😊

There are times when we look at our circumstances and think “What are we going to do?”. Things look so difficult and impossible, as though they’ll never change but the only reason we think that, is because we’re doubting God can or will help us. We forget that for Him our problems are simple to solve.

God is looking for our faith today, not faith in organisations or other people but faith in Him and what only He can do for us. We’re not being a bother to Him when we ask for His help first, we’re pleasing His heart because we’re using the faith He gave us in the first place.

So let me encourage you to go to Him again today, with faith in His ability and willingness to provide whatever you need. Remind yourself He hasn’t changed and He’s for you not against you and He is far bigger than all our problems put together!😊

Last November I wrote about shouting ‘Grace, Grace!’ to our problems and the link is below if you’d like to read it again because it may be a moment to shout Grace! Grace! to your mountain, every day if necessary till it comes down, and trust God’s grace to rescue and deliver you from whatever situation you are in. Amen.
