Elisha & Naaman

You guys know the story, Naaman, the officer, had everything : wealth, power, integrity, so on and so forth. Yet he was struck with leprosy.

When he came to Elisha by word of a captured Israel girl, he was instructed to do what only a lowly being would do : wash himself seven times in the river Jordan. I mean, there were better rivers out there right?

Infatuated, he wanted to pack his bags and go back home. But then his servant convinced him, and Naaman finally washed himself and got cleansed.

Later only did he lay his eyes on the prophet Elisha, and sought to reward him for his deed.

I know many of you are having a hectic life now with no where to go and work just keeps getting more and more..I know because majority of you guys are older than me and I feel that way already =\

But are we, in the midst of our troubles, like Naaman? One who has everything (or is seeking to complete something) but is ignoring God? Sure, you may say that you pray for yourself, but...

Naaman only got better after going all the way to Israel, which meant stopping his daily routines, and listening to the prophet.

Are we like him? Can we stop what we're doing and trust in God? God has His ways...which seem impossible and totally coincidental but..

God has a way :)
