How Moab Saw the Battle

How Moab Saw The Battle 

II Kings 3:24-25 NKJV

[24] So when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and attacked the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they entered their land, killing the Moabites. [25] Then they destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone on every good piece of land and filled it; and they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees. But they left the stones of Kir Haraseth intact. However the slingers surrounded and attacked it.

A Military strategy is an important determinant of military success.    Jeffrey Meiser and colleagues  in A Scandinavian Journal of Military studies explain what a good military strategy does. " Military strategy is likely to affect both skill and will factors. If strategy can place a military force in an advantageous position, it should act as a force multiplier enabling the successful employment of the modern system of tactics and operations, at the same time boosting the confidence of the troops". We are not sure of Moab's strategy. It does appear as if their perception of blood on the field overwhelmed their strategy. So everyone rushed out to the camp of Israel. It was a bad mistake. Your strategy is necessary to win.

   All over the Bible God gave different strategies to the people of Israel to win their battles. In Exo.23:27-28, God tells Israel of His strategy. " I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. 28 I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way". God has not lost that power today. All you need is to ask God for a strategy to win every battle you encounter. Moab saw blood. Israel saw a people without organization. They whipped their enemy to shame. May all your enemies submit to the strategy of the Name and the blood of Jesus. May the enemy see the blood. May they be defeated as Moab was. Good morning.
