Are you actually getting ready for the miracle you have been praying for? We often ask God to change our circumstances while we stay sitting on the couch, but in 2 Kings 3, Elisha shows us that God does not send the water until we pick up the shovel. This message is for anyone who is tired of living in a dry season and is ready to stop documenting the drought and start digging the ditch. Your preparation is the only physical proof of your spiritual expectation, and while you are out there working in the dirt, God is already moving the water from higher ground to meet your obedience.
