Three Kings: Hearing and Doing

Synopsis     2 Kings 3:12-21     7/29/2019

King Jehoshaphat led King Joram and the king of Edom on a visit to the prophet Elisha. The three kings had united to fight against Moab. And so, the approached Moab through the wilderness. But along the way they had run out of water. So, the kings asked Elisha.

Elisha did not hide his disdain for King Joram – the king of Israel. But, because of his respect for Jehoshaphat, he agreed to help. In the end, he assured the kings that God would supply water and that they would have success against Moab.

Three Kings: Hearing and Doing

Despite Elisha’s clear disdain for King Joram, he gave a good prophetic word. They were told through prophecy that God supported their plans. And with this, they pressed on.

Hearing and Doing

It is a moment of reassurance – to hear the word of the Lord.

So, we live in the time of the revelation of Christ Jesus. And as it is written, “There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

May we all walk in this blessed assurance today.

“Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the LORD our God.” Psalm 20:8
