Naaman
Today’s Reading: 2 Kings 5:1-15
Focal Verse: 2 Kings 5:15
And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
Sometimes God is there, grace held out in His hand, just waiting for us to take it. We have some sort of problem. We try to fix it by going to someone of earthly prestige or power. When that doesn’t work, we will go to God or a representative of His, but when the solution given us is just a simple act of faith, we rebel. We think surely our problem deserves some sort of showy solution, but to have to do something so humble? Our flesh recoils from the thought.
But there it is…still in His hand. And as we take it, finally, in our moment of humility, we see God ---just as Naaman did.
What act of grace does God have in His hand for you?
Humble yourself…and see God.
