“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.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When God is involved in anything you have to deal with, there is sure victory. Not only that, the incident will become something you will remember for a lifetime. He works in ways we least expect Him to work, yet He gets the work done—somehow and anyhow. There is no complexity in His Kingdom; everything is a light thing for the Lord.

In this passage, we see three kings, along with their military and animals, passing through the wilderness to battle one of their enemies. For seven days they journeyed, and during that time they found no water for the army or the animals following them. One of the kings exclaimed that God had given them into the hands of their enemies, but Jehoshaphat insisted on visiting a prophet of the land, who happened to be Elisha.

Elisha then prophesied, “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink, you, your livestock, and your animals.” As spoken, there was no wind and no rain, yet water came from all directions and filled the land. It quenched the thirst of the needy. Not only that, God also gave their enemies into their hands.

The Word of God brings great encouragement: it is a light thing for the Lord to do miracles. Therefore, instead of sorting out how, when, and what could happen, trust in Jesus, who has authority over the natural and the supernatural.

Your help might not come from the source you have been waiting on and believing in. It might even come from the very place you least expected—even from your enemies. The same person who stands against you may also end up working for you. The very thing that came with the intent to harm you may be the same thing God uses to exalt you.

So be energized. God will satisfy you. God will fill you. God will overflow your streambeds. And God will give you victory.

Prayer:

Lord, we trust You even when we see no wind and no rain. Fill our dry places. Quench our thirst. Teach us to believe that nothing is too hard for You. Turn what was meant for harm into victory, and overflow every empty streambed in our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
