Commentary on 2 Kings 3:17

Theological / Devotional

Ye shall not see wind. The reason why God disposes events in a certain distinct manner may not always be apparent. God could easily have brought up a windstorm and a fall of rain and thus have supplied the needed water. But He chose not to bring water that way. If He had, the Moabites might have concluded that the pools were filled with water and not with blood, and the victory over Moab would not have been gained in that way.
