2 Kings 5:10-11, 13~ "Elisha sent a MESSENGER TO HIM, SAYING, 'gO WASH IN THE Jordan SEVEN TIMES, AND YOUR FLESH SHALL BE RESTORED AND YOU SHALL BE CLEAN." but nAAMAN BECAME ANGRY AND WENT AWAY, SAYING, "i THOUGHT THAT FOR ME HE WOULD SURELY COME OUT, AND STAND AND CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD HIS GOD, AND WOULD WAVE HIS HAND OVER THE SPOT, AND CURE THE LEPROSY! ... but HIS SERVANTS APPROACHED AND SAID TO HIM, 'FATHER, IF THE PROPHET HAD COMMANDED YOU TO DO SOMETHING DIFFICULT WOULD YOU NOT HAVE DONE IT? how MUCH MORE, WHEN ALL HE SAID TO YOU WAS, "WASH, AND BE CLEAN."
Naaman was told what he needed to do to be healed. He precsripton for healing required him to humble himself and obey the Prophet, Elisha.
In May, my tough farmer Father rolled a tractor on his right side and broke 3 ribs, while cutting hay on a hill side.If you have ever had broken ribs you know that breathing and moving causes great pain. Yet while he was in the hospital he was told to do deep breathing, and walk often for this would help him to heal and not get sicker. I saw my tough Father be put in a situation where he was made humble and he has to obey if he is going to get well.
How often are we broken in our minds, emotions, souls & relationships? Our Great Doctor~ God has our proscription written his His Holy Bible. But we need to humble ourselves and obey His Word so that we too can heal.
