Main Text
2 Kings 5:9-11
'Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha's house. And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’
God uses the simple, the obscure, the anonymous to do some of His greatest works.
Many people have missed their miracles because of their perceived ways of breaking through a circumstance which do not align with God's ways.
Naaman was expecting the prophet to perform some great miracle, some supernatural wonder. With every step of that long journey toward Samaria, he had visualized himself and the prophet climbing to a high altar in the mountains or do something spectacular to his satisfaction.
Isaiah the Prophet, reiterates that God's thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are our ways His ways. God always has ways and methods of glorifying Himself.
All that the Lord requires from you is your obedience to His Word no matter the seemingly discomfort it'll bring to you. Trust His ways! Selah
Prayer:
Sovereign Lord, thank You for Your thoughts and ways for my life. I receive grace to trust in You at all times in Jesus' mighty name. Amen
May God be gracious unto you!
Shalom
