    God doesn’t intend for us to knock ourselves out in our little difficulties of life. He is well able to handle them for us. Elisha said, “This is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord.” It’s just a miracle! That’s the business God is in.

    Mesha, king of Moab owed Ahab 200,000 sheep. Ahab died and his son, Jehoram, took over. Mesha decided that since Ahab died, he shouldn’t have to pay. Jehoram, the new king of Israel, got Jehosophat, king of Judah, and the king of Edom together and went to make war against Moab. An urgent need ...read more
