2 Kings 3:20

2 Kings 3:20 says, And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.  After the meat offering the next morning, which were offered before the water came, the valley was filled with water.  We should not wait until after our prayers are answered and our needs are met to worship God, but we should worship Him even as we wait.  Verse twenty-two adds, And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.  The Moabites armed all the men who were able to fight and waited for the people of Israel at the border.  Those who oppose Christianity today are always going to be armed and ready to fight against Christian beliefs.  Verse twenty-two continues, And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:  When the Moabites saw the sun reflecting off the water, it looked red as blood.  Verse twenty-three states, And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.  They thought the water was full of the blood of the people of Israel who had opposed them and that they had killed each other, so they said it was time to go and claim the spoil.  They were making a false assumption and basing their actions on it, and so do people today who think that God's word is wrong.  Verse twenty-four adds, And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.  When the Moabites got to the camp of the Israelites, the Moabites were slain, or they fled.  We may not immediately be victorious over the enemies of God today, but we can be certain that one day they will be sent from God's presence into everlasting destruction.  Verse twenty-five continues, And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.  Moab was completely destroyed, even having their wells stopped up.  The same complete destruction is one day coming to all those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.  Verse twenty-six says, And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.  The king of Moab took seven hundred men and attempted to break through to the king of Edom to save himself, but he couldn't.  He was more interested in self-preservation than he was about the rest of Moab it would seem, but he was unsuccessful.  Those who oppose God are always going to be interested in self-preservation more than they are about the safety of others I believe.  Verse twenty-seven adds, Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.  The king offered his son as a burnt sacrifice and the people were indignant to Israel then and they left the king and returned to their own land.  People are still sacrificing their children to false gods today, sometimes even killing the unborn in the name of the god of self-will or pleasure.
