2 Kings 3: The Word of the LORD was with Elisha

Rev. Bruce Timm of Redeemer Lutheran Church in St. Cloud, MN joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Kings 3.

We need a preacher. Jehoram, Jehosophat, and the king of Edom went to Elisha after seven days without water because “the word of the LORD was with him.” Once again God provided: water for the thirsty, victory over enemies, and peace for the anxious. We see a stark difference from the king of Moab to Elisha. The king looked for peace by sacrificing his son to fake gods--Elisha looked to the LORD who would have his son sacrificed for the peace of forgiveness, life, and salvation. “LORD God, give us a preacher to give us truth and peace. Keep us from trying to find out God’s will from anything other than God’s Word and keep us with You. Lord have mercy. Amen”
