The Lord instructed the king to make a valley full of trenches, promising that it would be filled with water even without rain or wind. The speaker emphasizes the importance of a natural and genuine environment for God's work, rather than a hyped-up and manipulative atmosphere. The sermon also mentions the Moabites' mistaken interpretation of the water-filled valley as blood, leading them to underestimate their enemies.
