Obedience

 

 We had a wonderful lesson on Sunday.  I love the story of Naaman being cleansed after washing in the Jordan River 7 times.  The kids had so much fun acting out the story.  The main characters were:  Naaman, Elisha, Elisha's messenger and Naaman's servant.  I explained the state concerning Israel and Judah.  I explain the country of Aram and how they invaded Israel and took away some captives.  One of Naaman's servants was from Israel who mentioned to him about the prophet in Israel.  Isn't it amazing that one person can give someone so much hope that he went to the King and asked for papers to travel to Israel?  I thought it was interesting that when Naaman went to the King of Israel, Elisha found out (probably by the Word of the Lord).  God knows our needs.  He knows what we need from Him.  All we need to do is ask and take a step toward Him.  He might ask us to do something odd to receive our blessing but if we obey we will be healed just like Naaman.

Where is your faith today?  Is there someone in your life encouraging you to take a step toward the Lord?  Don't be afraid?  He is waiting for you and will be there to help you through life.

Have a blessed day.
