I'm thinking these 3 kings would have been better off if they had planned a little better before they went out to attack Moab. If it were not for the LORD's intervention they may well have all died from dehydration before they even encountered the enemy.
It is a good thing to trust the LORD. But, the LORD does expect us to do a little planning. He gifts us gifts; time, talents, etc.. He gives us brains to think and reason. We are to use them in planning or futures; in planning our day to day activities. Those three kings had to go to Elisha to hear the word of God for them; his plan for them. We do not have to. We can hear His Word whenever we are gathered for Worship. We can inquire of the LORD at all times and in all places. We can spend time with Him in prayer. I think finding out the will of God in advance would be a bit wiser than waiting until one is dying of thirst or starving or losing the battle to hear the Word of God.
Trust in the LORD for all things. Let us not trust in the work of our own hands, but use our hands to do the work that God would have us do for His purpose.
