Dig Ditches!

Joram son of Ahab began his rule over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. He was king for twelve years. In God’s sight he was a bad king. But he wasn’t as bad as his father and mother—to his credit he destroyed the obscene Baal stone that his father had made. But he hung on to the sinful practices of Jeroboam son of Nebat, the ones that had corrupted Israel for so long. He wasn’t about to give them up.

King Mesha of Moab raised sheep. He was forced to give the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and another 100,000 rams. When Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. So King Joram set out from Samaria and prepared Israel for war. His first move was to send a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Would you join me and fight him?” “I’m with you all the way,” said Jehoshaphat. “My troops are your troops, my horses are your horses. Which route shall we take?” “Through the badlands of Edom.” The king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom started out on what proved to be a looping detour. After seven days they had run out of water for both army and animals.

The king of Israel said, “Bad news! God has gotten us three kings out here to dump us into the hand of Moab.” But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of God anywhere around through whom we can consult God?” One of the servants of the king of Israel said, “Elisha son of Shaphat is around somewhere—the one who was Elijah’s right-hand man.” Jehoshaphat said, “Good! A man we can trust!” So the three of them—the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom—went to meet him.

Elisha addressed the king of Israel, “What do you and I have in common? Go consult the puppet-prophets of your father and mother.” “Never!” said the king of Israel. “It’s God who has gotten us into this fix, dumping all three of us kings into the hand of Moab.” Elisha said, “As God-of-the-Angel-Armies lives, and before whom I stand ready to serve, if it weren’t for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I wouldn’t give you the time of day. But considering—bring me a minstrel.” (When a minstrel played, the power of God came on Elisha.)

He then said, “God’s word: Dig ditches all over this valley. Here’s what will happen—you won’t hear the wind, you won’t see the rain, but this valley is going to fill up with water and your army and your animals will drink their fill. This is easy for God to do; he will also hand over Moab to you. You will ravage the country: Knock out its fortifications, level the key villages, clear-cut the orchards, clog the springs, and litter the cultivated fields with stones.”

In the morning—it was at the hour of morning sacrifice—the water had arrived, water pouring in from the west, from Edom, a flash flood filling the valley with water.

2 Kings 3:1-20

It’s the final seed group with this passage of scripture! In the last three seed groups, we have talked about: worshipping first, digging ditches, and making sacrifices so that we can see God move in the dry areas of our lives. But in this last seed group, let’s talk about the times when we do all of these things: worship, work (dig), and sacrifice (give up someone valuable/important to us for Him) and still nothing happens!?

We wait.

Psalm 27:14 says: “Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”

Yes, sometimes we do all of the “right things” and God does not respond on our timeline. Maybe this has happened to you in a relationship, in your health, in your finances, or with a specific challenge.

Does this mean we give up hope? No! We still wait patiently for the Lord.

Waiting is hard. It can often feel like we are stuck in a state of limbo, wondering when or if our prayers will be answered. If the work we have done in obedience was done in vain. If what we have sacrificed was worth it. However, God asks us to wait patiently for Him. This doesn’t mean we should sit idly by, but rather actively seek Him while allowing Him to work in our lives.

Psalm 27 encourages us to be brave and courageous while waiting on the Lord. This bravery comes not from our own strength, but from the knowledge of God’s goodness and faithfulness in our lives. When we trust in Him, we can wait with hope and confidence, assured that His plan is better than our own.

While waiting can be difficult, it’s also an opportunity to grow in our spiritual lives. We can spend this waiting time seeking God through prayer, reading His Word, and serving others. As we rely on Him, our character is shaped, and we become more like Christ.

May we remember to be brave and courageous as we wait patiently for the Lord. Let us trust in His promises and use this time to grow in our relationship with Him.

3. When You’re In A Dry Place, Offer A Sacrifice!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_letter_spacing=”1px” header_font=”Neue Montreal Bold||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”75px” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”#E09900″ border_width_bottom=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Verse 20 says: “In the morning—it was at the hour of morning sacrifice—the water had arrived, water pouring in from the west, from Edom, a flash flood filling the valley with water.”

Notice when the water came in. Was it when they finished digging the ditches? Nope. They actually dug all of the ditches and ended up going to sleep that night with them all dug and completely empty.

So when did the water come in? The water came in the next morning, “at the hour of the morning sacrifice!” The water came in literally as the sacrifice was being made.

This was not coincidental.

The definition of sacrifice is “anything consecrated and offered to God.”

We see it clearly throughout the Old Testament as a form of appeasement of the wrath of God, a form of worship to God, and something that pleases God. Mostly through the killing of an animal, shedding of blood, or burning of grain or crops. All of which were always extremely valuable, of high worth, to the people giving them. IT WAS ALWAYS PAINFUL TO GIVE A SACRIFICE. It cost something. And sacrifices have always moved the heart of God. Then, as the New Testament begins, we see Jesus become an ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Once and for all, appeasing God’s wrath towards sin and allowing us to live forever through faith in Him. And after the resurrection and into now, the sacrifice is our lives.Every part of them.

Pauls says this in Romans 12:1-2 “And so dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice–the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him.” Verse 2 continues to explain what a living sacrifice looks like: “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

Don’t copy the behaviors and customs of this world. This world tells you to preserve yourself. Preserve your energy, your money, your love, your time, your everything. Keep it all safe and secure. But this is not God’s way!

You might say in response, “But what about boundaries and what about the “best yes,” and what about my sleep cycle, and what about toxic people, and what about church hurt and what about….and the list goes on.”

And YES there is a place for those conversations, but too many of us use these as excuses and a cop-out that holds us back from making any sacrifices at all. Many of us have preserved our lives into one where you can’t be inconvenienced in sacrificing your time, your desires, your thought patterns, your resources to serve God and His Kingdom!

-We are called to live selfless lives, not selfish lives

Sacrifices are not convenient. They were never meant to be. But as Christians, we have been called to live sacrificial lives.

Take inventory of your life’s priorities. What idols do you have? We tend to think of idols as statues, but idols are anything we love and put in front of God. It can even be a good thing like a job, your kids, or even doing good works. Do the work this week to assess and then reprioritize who gets your love, attention, and adoration first.

Make sure it’s Jesus over everything.

“]

Renew or refresh your understanding of Biblical sacrifice. Spend intentional time reflecting on the ultimate sacrifice: Jesus on the cross.

Read the story about the widow in 1 Kings 17:8-24. Reflect on how this story is similar to the story we have been focusing on in the area of sacrifice and the results it produced.

Over the next two weeks, take inventory of every area of your life (physical, mental, spiritual, financial, relational) and decide where you need to sacrifice. Then start.

Saturday July 22 | 12pm

Summer time is here! This year, Love Sisterhood will be hosting Summer Sisterhood Luncheon that will take place on Saturday, July 22nd!

We will gather together to enjoy a delicious lunch, a few fun surprises and intentional time with each other to connect and build relationships. We will also have a time of ministry and prayer where you will have the opportunity to hear from some wonderful women. We are believing that this will be a powerful, fun, and encouraging time together.

Registration is $25 per person (age middle school and up). Space is limited, and the deadline to register is July 16th!
