Wednesday November 20, 2019 “Cut Down the Trees”
2 Kings 3:18-19 And this is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. 19 Also you shall attack every fortified city and every choice city, and shall cut down every good tree, and stop up every spring of water, and ruin every good piece of land with stones.”
The Prophet Elisha told the kings to cut down the good trees. There was to be no resources left for the evil enemies of God’s people to rebuild their cities and once again attack. People like the first king of Israel Saul would not completely destroy people and animals in the cities that hated God and were idolatrous.
Pray that God’s people in authority in America will go further than just dealing with the symptoms (fruit from the trees) of evil. The root of all evil is rebellion against God and His word.
