2 Kings 3:18 KJV
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Some of those requests that we think are the most impossible are only a light thing in the sight of the Lord.
I can see the Israelites reasoning that God had delivered them from their enemies before. God had helped them in battle before, besides, a little hard work on their part, with some help of the Lord on the side, could make a battle work out just fine. They had three kings, after all, against only one king. But the water in the wilderness, that is a different story. There was nothing they could do to make water appear. Hard work would only worsen the need for water. This is a very bad situation!
But as bad as it was for men, it was only a light thing in the sight of our God. He not only gave them water, but He used the very miracle that gave the water as the weapon that led to victory against the Moabites.
Our troubles are only light things for God to solve. If only we will rest in Him to work things to His glory.
