But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the Lord his God and heal me!
if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’”
However, may the Lord pardon me in this one thing: When my master the king goes into the temple of the god Rimmon to worship there and leans on my arm, may the Lord pardon me when I bow, too.”
19“Go in peace,” Elisha said. So Naaman started home again.
The Greed of Gehazi
“O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.
As soon as they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, “O Lord, now open their eyes and let them see.” So the Lord opened their eyes, and they discovered that they were in the middle of Samaria.
21When the king of Israel saw them, he shouted to Elisha, “My father, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”
22“Of course not!” Elisha replied. “Do we kill prisoners of war? Give them food and drink and send them home again to their master.”
23So the king made a great feast for them and then sent them home to their master. After that, the Aramean raiders stayed away from the land of Israel.
Lord God,
Again I ask you to help me accept your desire over my own. Help me to understand, I don’t have to understand. Let me do your will without question. Open my eyes to “see” your army. Help me to surrender to this life and live it your way with a heart of Joy and Peace. Living to delight you in all my ways.
In Jesus name,
Amen
