God will always bless us
with that which matters most.
Naaman had leprosy.
He longed to be cured
of this dreadful disease.
And yet,
God knew Naaman
was suffering from something
more deadly than leprosy.
When this powerful man
approached God’s servant, Elisha,
he expected his method of healing
would match his position.
He thought his title
would dictate his healing.
God had other plans.
Naaman wanted to be blessed
with healthy, new skin;
God wanted to bless Naaman
with that which matters most.
Naaman wanted God
to heal him of leprosy;
God wanted to heal Naaman
of a prideful spirit.
Seven dips later,
in the Jordan River,
God healed Naaman of both.
