II Kings 5:13-14 “ And his (Naaman)servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? Then went he (Naaman) down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” Naaman was a leader who at the height of his power became a leper. Through the providence of God he comes to the prophet Elisha who told him to go dip seven times in the river Jordan. Naaman responded by getting angry and refusing to obey. Yet in our text he is convinced to conform. What does Naaman discover? The power of obedience! Life is complicated in its demands and outcomes. Because of this we all are always in need of the power of God that comes to the life of those that obey His commands. Today, let us follow Naaman’s example. Whatever God calls us to do today, regardless of how we feel or think, just do it. Let this be a day that we experience the full power of complete obedience!
