Summary
Craig Groeschel explores 2 Kings 3, where Elisha leads armies to dig ditches in a dry valley before God provides water. He teaches that our greatest needs become gifts when they drive us to depend on God through faithful action and worship. Listeners are encouraged to "dig ditches" by taking steps of faith, such as praying or seeking counseling, trusting that God will meet their needs in His timing.
