Remember where Naaman was from? He was a ruler for the enemy king of Aram!!! Look how our Faithful God worked in his life to not only heal him physically, but spiritually!
II Kings 5:17-19 17 “If you
will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much
earth as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make
burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may
the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters
the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to
bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”
19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said.
Naaman wasn’t just
grateful he was healed; he had a complete heart change. He met the true God and
wanted to live for and worship only Him! As a result, God used Naaman to take
back to his country evidence of who the True and Living God is! It will be
exciting to see in heaven who all Naaman influenced in “enemy” territory.
Like Naaman, how has
meeting God motivated you and me to live for and worship only Him? Where might
He want to use you and me to influence others, even in “enemy” territory?
